macOS: Failed to write value. The folder “xxxxxxx” doesn’t exist.

[ospfranco]

What happened?

I have a react-native-macos app that uses async-storage to dump the data periodically. The app is connected to Sentry and this error pop-up periodically:

I have just updated the package to 1.23.1 and I'm waiting to see if the error is solved, but in the meantime I thought I'd ask if anyone has experienced this or knows why this would be hapenning.

Version

1.17.11

Have the same problem on Expo SDK 50 / Dev client / iOS Simulator Build.

I checked again and there is also an error regarding the manifest.json:

Still valid

[agallio]

Still get the same error:

Is there any workaround to fix this temporarily?

[hassankhan]

I see this error quite a lot on iOS too. Deleting the app on the simulator before running run-ios seems to reliably prevent the issue from occurring.
