async-storage: Doesn't run on Android with RN > 0.58

Current behavior

Running an app which includes AsyncStorage from this package instead of react-native will crash the app on startup.

Expected behavior

It doesn’t crash the app on startup.

Repro steps

Just include the package with any RN > 0.58 (I think with all the gradle upgrades coming in 0.58 as well)

Environment

• Async Storage version: 1.2.1
• React-Native version: > 0.58
• Platform tested: Android only, iOS works fine
• Logs/Error that are relevant:

This is the log from the production device / emulator:
