[uttrasey]

What happened?

I expected AsyncStorage.getItem to return a promise but I got an Object {}.

Steps to Reproduce

Using ios simulator (iphone 12 / iOS 15)

  useEffect(() => {
    const x = AsyncStorage.getItem('some-key');
    console.log(x);
    console.log(typeof x);
    console.log(JSON.stringify(x, null, 4));
  }, []);

produces:

 LOG  {}
 LOG  object
 LOG  {}

I think this broke after upgrading OS.

Is this rather a general question about why logged promise representation looks like it does in your case? If AsyncStorage is working for ya, than it's not a bug.
