Hi folks, first just want to say that Expo is amazing.
I’m wondering about AsyncStorage going forward. I understand that it’s deprecated and will be removed in a future version of React Native. I’m currently developing an app with Apollo Client that persists the cache using AsyncStorage. Since AsyncStorage is being deprecated, I tried to save the cache data with other options including Expo SecureStore (got an error, apparently AsyncStorage API is expected) and @react-native-community/async-storage (Expo does not support it). Will Expo support some version of AsyncStorage going forward? I’m concerned that if it doesn’t, I will be unable to upgrade my app, as persisting the cached data is crucial. Thanks so much.
Keith is correct. The AsyncStorage API has been moved to the react-native-community umbrella and we will continue to support it for the foreseeable future by pulling it from said package once RN completely removes it from its core.
