AsyncStorage.setItem not working as expected on iOS

Current behavior

Async Storage not working with very basic use case. When I changed my import from using the extracted repo import AsyncStorage from '@react-native-community/async-storage'; to the core repoimport AsyncStorage from 'react-native' it works.

saveFoo(template) {
        AsyncStorage.getItem('savedFoos').then(b => {
            if (b == null) {
                AsyncStorage.setItem('savedFoos', JSON.stringify([template]));
            }
            else {
                var savedFoos = JSON.parse(b);
                savedFoos.push(template);
                AsyncStorage.setItem('savedFoos', JSON.stringify(savedFoos));
            }
        });
    }

Expected behavior

works

nothing was set to asyncstorage. SetItem failed.

@Krizzu genius. I removed all the import AsyncStorage from 'react-native' from all my files and used only import AsyncStorage from '@react-native-community/async-storage'; across my entire project and now it seems to be working.
