Summary: This patch is a bit of a hack job, but I'd argue it's necessary to dramatically improve the dev UX on Android devices. Somewhere in react-native, there's a shared SerialExecutor which AsyncStorage uses that is getting blocked, causing remote debugging to occasionally hang indefinitely for folks making AsyncStorage requests. This is frustrating from a dev UX perspective, and has persisted across several versions as far back as RN 0.44, and still remains on RN 0.54. The issue seems to only happen on Android > 7+, which is likely because the ThreadPoolExecutor behavior changed in this version: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9654148/android-asynctask-threads-limits Fixes #14101 We've been using this patch in production for the past 4 months on our team by overriding the AsyncStorage native module. We use AsyncStorage extensively for offline data and caching. You can test by compiling this commit version into a test react native repository that is set to build from source: ```sh git clone https://github.com/dannycochran/react-native rnAsyncStorage cd rnAsyncStorage git checkout asyncStorage cd .. git clone https://github.com/dannycochran/asyncStorageTest yarn install cp -r ../rnAsyncStorage node_modules/react-native react-native run-android ``` No documentation change is required. https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/16905 [Android] [BUGFIX] [AsyncStorage] - Fix AsyncStorage causing remote debugger to hang indefinitely.
