Duplicated dependency on Expo SDK 54: @react-native-async-storage/async-storage@2.2.0

[BrodaNoel]

Expected Behavior

npx expo-doctor should not throw an error

Current Behavior

npx expo-doctor is throwing an error:

✖ Check that no duplicate dependencies are installed
Your project contains duplicate native module dependencies, which should be de-duplicated.
Native builds may only contain one version of any given native module, and having multiple versions of a single Native module installed may lead to unexpected build errors.
Found duplicates for @react-native-async-storage/async-storage:
  ├─ @react-native-async-storage/async-storage@2.2.0 (at: node_modules/@react-native-async-storage/async-storage)
  └─ @react-native-async-storage/async-storage@1.24.0 (at: node_modules/@amplitude/analytics-react-native/node_modules/@react-native-async-storage/async-storage)

This is not a simple warning. This is actually duplicating the pre-builded dependencies leading on higher build sizes, and problems with different singletones/instances of async-stores at the same time.

Possible Solution

Update to @react-native-async-storage/async-storage@2.2.0, which is the stable since Expo SDK 54

Steps to Reproduce

Just add this dependency on an Expo project with SDK 54, and then run npx expo-doctor

Environment

"@amplitude/analytics-react-native": "^1.5.16",
"expo": "^54.0.20",
"@react-native-async-storage/async-storage": "2.2.0",

Guys... Come on... This is older than my grandmother, and the only thing you have to do is to upgrade from @react-native-async-storage/async-storage@1.24.0 to 2.2.0

Is there a workaround for this please?

[alexferrermano]

There is also a new async-storage version (3.0.1). To me it will become a bottleneck with the new architecture at some point. Is there any plans to upgrade to latest versions? Thanks
