Async-storage: Doesn't run on Android with RN > 0.58

Created on 20 Mar 2019 · 19Comments · Source: react-native-async-storage/async-storage

Current behavior

Running an app which includes AsyncStorage from this package instead of react-native will crash the app on startup.

Expected behavior

It doesn't crash the app on startup.

Repro steps

Just include the package with any RN > 0.58 (I think with all the gradle upgrades coming in 0.58 as well)

Environment

Async Storage version: 1.2.1
React-Native version: > 0.58
Platform tested: Android only, iOS works fine
Logs/Error that are relevant:

This is the log from the production device / emulator:

Experiencing the same issue with RN0.59 running on a Nexus 5 emulator.
Currently only using .setItem, .getItem and .removeItem.

Reverting back to import {AsyncStorage} from "react-native" for the moment.

@mxmzb Hey, thanks for reporting this!

Can you confirm that you linked the package using react-native link @react-native-community/async-storage and reinstalled the app?

Krizzu on 20 Mar 2019

@Krizzu Sure! Yes, I did link and reinstall.

mxmzb on 20 Mar 2019

@mxmzb I created new project with version 59 and I see no issue with Async Storage.

Does it happen on multiMerge/mergeItem call?

Krizzu on 20 Mar 2019

@Krizzu I don't explicitly call these methods in my app, just having the package imported crashes my app. I will have another look at whether it maybe depends on some other config that I've set, maybe it's some babel plugin.

mxmzb on 20 Mar 2019

Right, thanks @mxmzb .

This one is interesting to debug - I could use some more info about your setup to replicate it.

Krizzu on 20 Mar 2019

I am having the same issue. When using AsyncStorage from 'react-native' it works fine, as soon as I import AsyncStorage from '@react-native-community/async-storage' the app crashes (before any call is made to AsyncStorage itself). My dependencies are:

My solution

In `/android/build.grable` change:

targetSdkVersion = 27 to targetSdkVersion = 28

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.1' to classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.3.1'

targetSdkVersion = 27 to targetSdkVersion = 28

and remove task wrapper function

In `/android/app/build.grable` change:

add function after buildToolsVersion rootProject.ext.buildToolsVersion

compileOptions {
  sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
  targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
}

change include "armeabi-v7a", "x86", "arm64-v8a" to include "armeabi-v7a", "x86", "arm64-v8a", "x86_64"

change def versionCodes = ["armeabi-v7a":1, "x86":2, "arm64-v8a": 3] to def versionCodes = ["armeabi-v7a":1, "x86":2, "arm64-v8a": 3, "x86_64": 4]

In `/android/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties`

change distributionUrl to https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.10.2-all.zip

@mxmzb @LadislavBohm

Still, I cannot repro this - importing AS from RN, then from community's package is not crashing for me.

What about clearing packager cache with react-native start --resetCache?

@voroncv I'm not convinced that gradle version has anything to do with JS bundling here, but thanks for your input.

Oops, GH closed the issue - reopening for further discussion.

Let me know if latest release have fixed the issue.

Krizzu on 26 Mar 2019

@Krizzu The release note for v1.2.2 doesn't discuss any thing specific to the issue.

krunalsshah on 27 Mar 2019

Works for me with RN 0.59.2 and store 1.2.2

mifi on 4 Apr 2019

@mifi Good you got it working.

If anyone need more help, please re-open this issue.
Also, please make sure you post additional info, like repro steps or things you've already tried, so it'd be easier to find the root cause.

thanks.

Krizzu on 7 Apr 2019

I'm having the same issue on Android. It simply just doesn't run and crashes (freezes) on the splash screen.
Using RN 0.59.2. Looks like I gotta go back to the original version.

tkoolreact on 29 Apr 2019

I think I believe I found the issue.

Using auto link, react-native link :
react-native link @react-native-community/async-storage

(in my code) has a bug and doesn't add the code in the section
protected List getPackages()

new AsyncStoragePackage()

in MainApplication.java

If you follow the manual way:

https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-async-storage/blob/master/docs/Linking.md

...should be good to go:

tkoolreact on 30 Apr 2019

I'm happy to see you got it working @tkoolreact. When you react-native link fails, you should be notified about it. Did you get any errors/warnings? Maybe it's something that's worth pointing out in https://github.com/react-native-community/cli ?

thanks.

Krizzu on 1 May 2019

Same issue here. App crashes on open, on both platforms, IOS and Android. RN version 0.59.9.

leandrosimoes on 21 Jun 2019

@leandrosimoes

I'd need more info to know why it's crashing

Krizzu on 22 Jun 2019

👎1

Seeing the same issue on startup in version 0.59.8. I am using "AsyncStorage" from react-native.
