Encountered an same erron in my React Native project. After troubleshooting, I found a solution that resolved the problem. Here’s a step-by-step guide to fix it.

Step-by-Step Fix

1. Ensure Correct Installation npm install @react-native-async-storage/async-storage

Or, if using Yarn:

yarn add @react-native-async-storage/async-storage

2. Clear Cache and Rebuild Since React Native caches can cause issues, I cleared the cache and restarted my project using the following commands:

npx react-native start --reset-cache npx react-native run-android # For Android

3. Check for Linking React Native should automatically link the package. However, if I needed to manually link it, I used: npx react-native link @react-native-async-storage/async-storage

4. Manually Rebuild for Android

For Android, I ensured a clean build by running:

cd android

./gradlew clean

cd ..

npx react-native run-android

After making these changes, my AsyncStorage implementation worked correctly.
