flutter_localstorage: Data doesn't persist in latest version, does in 2.0.0 (android)

Hi, I’ve been using this package but somehow with version 3.0.4 data wouldn’t persist. here’s my code:

final storage = LocalStorage('my_data.dart');
 
await storage.ready.then((_) => {myVar = storage.getItem("myVar")});

//if myVar is null I set it here~

tried running on my android 10 phone, data wouldn’t persist, even if I installed the app. Tried changing my_data.dart to only my_data or anything else, wouldn’t work as well. No error/exception was thrown either. On a whim I thought I’d try to update the pubspec and set the package’s version to 2.0.0, that worked. Now the data is persisting between hot reloads as it should.
