This happened after I installed this package.

It seems that dynatrace duplicates the async storage dependency and I don't know how to fix this.

I already deleted the node_module, cd/android gradlewclean and tried to rebuild the project.

Answer 1

The issue in my case was a definition of 2 packages in my package.json:

• @react-native-community/async-storage (Deprecated)
• react-native-async-storage/async-storage

Once I remove the deprecated one issue resolved.
Note that if you are using Yarn Workspaces that you might have the deprecated package in one of your workspaces.
