Expo AsyncStorage after upgrade from vanilla React Native

Please provide the following:

  1. SDK Version: 36.0.0
  2. Platforms(Android/iOS/web/all): iOS

I have an old app written in React Native (v0.56) that uses AsyncStorage (via redux-persist). I’m trying to switch the app to managed Expo workflow. I use the same bundle identifier and in my new iOS app. However, after the upgrade (via TestFlight) my old data is gone.

I assume Expo is doing some namespacing that prevents me from reading AsyncStorage that was written by the old React Native version of the app? Can I still access the data from the old app after the upgrade? Am I missing something?

Thanks!
