ERROR Invariant Violation: AsyncStorage has been removed from react-native core

Question

I was trying to Upgrade my Expo SDK 46 to 48 - following the steps on Midium- https://blog.expo.dev/expo-sdk-48-ccb8302e231 but after following the upgrading commands, I started getting ERROR Invariant Violation: AsyncStorage has been removed from react-native core

Does anyone know how to fix this Error? Thank you for your help in advance.

As mentioned by Naveed above in comment. You most likely have an import in one of your js/ts files causing the error since AsyncStorage is no longer in React-Native.

This import is wrong: import { AsyncStorage } from 'react-native'

Make sure you have @react-native-async-storage/async-storage installed by following instructions here: https://react-native-async-storage.github.io/async-storage/docs/install/

Then change all imports from:

import { AsyncStorage } from 'react-native'

to

import AsyncStorage from '@react-native-async-storage/async-storage'
