AsyncStorage not working properly

Current behavior

AsyncStorage not working properly on 0.60.5 I set and get the async storage with the help of two button. Value successfully sets and gets but when i reload the application and tried to get the value again without setting it return null.

Expected behavior

Async save the set value before and don’t remove it until we manually set it to null. But now every time application is reloaded it forgets the saved async value and i have to set it again and again. Basically setup my authentication with asyncstorage, if user is signed in it shows dashboard else login screen. But now user login and open app again, it shows login screen again and again. It was working fine on Android 8.1 with React Native 0.59. But i upgraded my project to 0.60, its behavior changed.

Code

export default class LibTest extends Component {
    static navigationOption = {
        title: "LibTest", header: null, headerVisible: false
    };

    constructor(props) {
        super(props);
        this.state = {
            asyncVal: null,
            storedData: "myValue"
        }

    }

    async componentDidMount() {

    }

    storeData = async () => {
        console.log("inside storeData")
        try {
            await AsyncStorage.setItem('Test', 'TestValue')
        } catch (e) {
            console.log(e)
        }
    }

    getData = async () => {
        console.log("inside getData")
        try {
            const value = await AsyncStorage.getItem('Test')
            this.setState({ storedData: value })

        } catch (e) {
            // error reading value
        }
    }

    render() {
        return(
            <View style={{ marginTop: 40 }}>
                <Text> {this.state.storedData}</Text>
                <Button title={"storeData"} onPress={this.storeData}><Text>storeData</Text></Button>
                <Button title={"getData"} onPress={this.getData}><Text>getData</Text></Button>
            </View>
        )
    }
}

Environment

• Async Storage version: 1.6.1
• React-Native version: 0.60.5
• Platform tested: Android 9

@Krizzu I found bug in my code, thanks for your help, and sorry for trouble. The problem was that I checked the state in one of my Context which was not yet updated with the value stored in AsyncStorage while first rendered.

when i set any value to null, its ok but after a refresh everything rolls back…

Setting values to null/undefined is not supported - probably the error is thrown there, which you don’t handle. If you want to remove value, use .removeItem method
