another @RNC/AsyncStorage]: NativeModule: AsyncStorage is null

[Olga Dmytrenko]

What happened?

Android Bundling complete 10043ms - just after completing build with eas and then trying to start app on Android, it crashes with error (rebuil-restart tried - no help, the same app works on Expo Go without any issue ):

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

To fix this issue try these steps:

• Rebuild and restart the app.

• Run the packager with --reset-cache flag.

• If you are using CocoaPods on iOS, run pod install in the ios directory and then rebuild and re-run the app.

• If this happens while testing with Jest, check out docs how to
integrate AsyncStorage with it: https://react-native-async-storage.github.io/async-storage/docs/advanced/jest

If none of these fix the issue, please open an issue on the Github
repository: https://github.com/react-native-async-storage/async-storage/issues

Steps to Reproduce

it just happens with my environment - as far as i understand searching for the same, there is no clear understanding how to reproduce it

Please see if #994 (comment) helps:

I don't know if Expo autolinks native modules the same way vanilla React Native does, but assuming it does, you need to explicitly take dependency on AsyncStorage if any of your dependencies need it. Autolinking only links native modules that are found in the current project's package.json.

Yes!
I did install react-native-async-storage/async-storage, even not using directly (but Firebase uses it) and it helped. However, I would expect the third-party dependencies are taken careof ...
