Does this library support the new RN architecture?

Since this library is mentioned on the https://expo.dev/ website. And SDK 48 announced support for the new RN architeture. Can I assume this also applies for this lib?

Doesn't look like it?

Not at the moment. Someone attempted it then kinda just abandoned it. This PR will at least make it compatible with TM though: #965

For current releases, yes — this library supports the New Architecture.

A few concrete signs in the repo:

• the package has a codegenConfig
• it is generated as a turbo-module
• Android has both src/newarch and src/oldarch

So the package is built to work in both worlds, with the New Architecture path used when your RN app enables it.

Example of what that means at the app level:

{
  "dependencies": {
    "react-native": "0.79.x",
    "@react-native-async-storage/async-storage": "^3.0.2"
  }
}

The one nuance: Expo/RN support and package support are related but not identical. "Expo SDK supports New Architecture" does not automatically guarantee every installed library version does. You still need a compatible AsyncStorage version.

So my answer would be:

• older versions -> do not assume
• modern versions -> yes, supported

If you're deciding today, I'd use the latest package version rather than inferring support from the Expo site alone.
