React native async storage issues

Question

In my react native app I am trying to save data into my local storage. It works fine most of the time but sometime I get error while setting the item.

So here is the code for me setting the item

async setString(key: string, value: any) {
    try {
      return await AsyncStorage.setItem(key, value)
    } catch (e) {
      LogService.logError(
        'apiClient',
        'apptype',
        `Error setting local storage, key: ${key} error: ${JSON.stringify(e)}`,
      )
    }
  }

1. One of the thing is that my error doesn't prints.
2. IOS users are having this issues
3. Do I need to first delete the item and then write to it? Doesn't setString override the value?
4. Is there any storage problem on the client?

Answer 1

Try using JSON.parse() when getting and JSON.stringify() when setting it

It's worked for me, you can try this.

useEffect(() => {

    AsyncStorage.getItem('isLaunched').then((value) => {
        AsyncStorage.setItem('isLaunched', 'true'); // No need to wait for `setItem` to finish, although you might want to handle errors
    }); // Add some error handling, also you can simply do 

}, []);
