ERROR Error: [@RNC/AsyncStorage]: NativeModule: AsyncStorage is null.

[AKA-Muhannad]

What happened?

Hi everyone,

I encountered an issue with @react-native-async-storage/async-storage. When running my React Native application, I get the following error when I run it on iOS 17.5 Simulator:

ERROR Error: [@RNC/AsyncStorage]: NativeModule: AsyncStorage is null.

---

I have tried all the recommended solutions but the error persists:

1. Uninstalled the app, rebuilt, and restarted it.
2. Cleared the Metro bundler cache using the --reset-cache flag.
3. Ran pod install in the ios directory (using CocoaPods).
4. Verified that @react-native-async-storage/async-storage is listed as a dependency in my package.json.
5. Removed node_modules, yarn.lock, and package-lock.json files.
6. Cleaned the yarn cache by running yarn cache clean.
7. Re-installed all dependencies using yarn install and rebuilt the project.

Environment Details

• React Native Version: "0.74.1"
• AsyncStorage Version: "^2.1.0"
• Platform: iOS
• Node.js Version: v21.7.1
• Yarn Version: 3.6.4

---

Expected Behavior
The app should correctly recognize the AsyncStorage NativeModule and work as expected.

Actual Behavior
The error NativeModule: AsyncStorage is null is displayed, and the app does not function correctly.

---

Additional Information
If there are any additional steps I could try or if there's a known workaround, please let me know.

Thank you for your help!

But I'm on react-native: 0.76.3

[shovel-kun]

@MuhammadrizoDeveloper Did you upgrade to RN 0.76.4 and then downgrade back to 0.76.3?

Deleting node_modules and android for some reason did not fix the problem for me, so I had to delete my project folder and clone from my last commit.
