Unit Testing Expo Apps With Jest
\[@RNC/AsyncStorage\]: NativeModule: AsyncStorage is null. To fix this issue try these steps: • Rebuild and restart the app. • Run the packager with \`--reset-cache\` flag. • If you are using CocoaPods on iOS, run \`pod install\` in the \`ios\` directory and then rebuild and re-run the app. • If this happens while testing with Jest, check out docs how to integrate AsyncStorage with it: https://react-native-async-storage.github.io/async-storage/docs/advanced/jest If none of these fix the issue, please open an issue on the Github repository: https://github.com/react-native-async-storage/async-storage/issues 5 | import { ReactQueryDevtools } from '@tanstack/react-query-devtools'; 6 | import { Platform } from 'react-native'; > 7 | import AsyncStorage from '@react-native-async-storage/async-storage';

Is there a way to store things even if the app closes?
You want this: react-native-async-storage

Fullstack Developer here, just diving into React Native. For my first app do you think it would be better to use local storage or to build an api?
What do you mean by local storage? The browser based localStorage API does not exist by default in react-native. There is an analogue though... The most basic package that most people use, AsyncStorage is just a string based key-value store: https://github.com/react-native-async-storage/async-storage . It's very useful for anything simple. It also has a merge function which lets you automatically update stringified JSON objects without unpacking them and doing the modifications yourself.

How to Mock and Test AsyncStorage in React Native
Since the original React Native AsyncStorage was deprecated, you may be using the community solution: react-native-async-storage. I would personally recommend it!

Any solution for this?
I think that you using a deprecated package to store your state. Verify if you are using https://github.com/react-native-async-storage/async-storage.

Otherwise, if you want remote storage a many other useful backend capabilities without writing and maintaining your own backend (messaging, remote updates, etc.) you can use Firebase. This is a very useful suite of tools from google that lots of people use that can handle Social Authentication, Push Notifications, Analytics, A few different kinds of data bases with both local and remote persistence. You won't need this for your todo but you might want to use it if you're making something more serious.

I’m following the exact same instructions as found here [https://rnfirebase.io/] but once I’m done with all the steps and build my project again, I get a very very long error that even my VS Code zsh terminal just cuts off.
