async-storage: The folder “manifest.json” doesn’t exist
Current behavior
I am getting a crash report from Sentry saying:
Failed to write manifest file.Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=4 "The folder “manifest.json” doesn’t exist." UserInfo={NSURL=file:///var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/A7CD2724-A623-49F8-82A5-9B433D1C697F/Documents/RCTAsyncLocalStorage_V1/manifest.json, NSUserStringVariant=Folder, NSUnderlyingError=0x2822e0ae0 {Error Domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain Code=2 "No such file or directory"}}
This crash has the highest frequency in my project. ~1.5k a week.
I think the crash occur at this line.
PS: I am using AsyncStorage through react-native-storage, but because the crash occur in AsyncStorage I report it here.
PPS: I think it’s weird that the crash log says "The folder “manifest.json” doesn’t exist.", because manifest.json isn’t a folder.
Expected behavior
Shouldn’t crash.
Repro steps
I don’t have a way to reproduce yet, but I will keep investigating this issue on my side, and update this thread if I find a way to reproduce.
Any clue to debug this is welcome.

@Krizzu Hi, sorry for not mentioning it sooner, but this issue is not resolved.
Please notice that 36e9a12 cannot really fix this issue as it fixes an issue that causing
Failed to parse manifesterror while this issue is causingFailed to write manifest file.@StevenMasini mentioned it when opening the issue that the problem probably got to do to this code.
Do you think you can reopen the issue?
This happens in my project every time I clear
AsyncStoragein iOS in the React Native Debugger standalone Mac app. The next time I try to write to async storage, theFailed to write manifesterror pops up in the console. I have to kill the app in the simulator to get it to work correctly again. It’s difficult to tell if the issue lies with how React Native Debugger clearsAsyncStorageor if it’s this package itself. My project only usesAsyncStoragefrom the RNC, not from RN directly.clean react-native project react-native - 0.60 react-native-community/async-storage - lastest the issue reproduces itself after cleaning async-storage content in devtools
This happened to me as well. I found out that I had mixed the new and the old AsyncStorage, so in some files I did
import AsyncStorage from '@react-native-community/async-storage';, while in others I still hadimport {AsyncStorage} from "react-native";. Not much of a surprise that this isn’t working. Hope this helps!If you come against the same issue, please do reopen.
@gluix20 @bell-steven This can be from a situation, where you use the community’s
Async Storageand one of your dependency still uses old Async Storage.Meanwhile, it’d be good to have repro steps so we could look into the issue closely
