Unable to get async/await working in react native

I have not been able to get async/await working in a react native project.

const async getUser = () => {
  try{
    let value = await AsyncStorage.getItem("user");
    return value;
  }
  catch(e){
    throw e
  }
}

I always get an Unexpected token error. I have tried adding { "presets": ["react-native", "es2015", "babel-preset-stage-3"] } with the same result.

On version ^0.35.0

The syntax for async arrow functions is:

const getUser = async () => {
  ...
}
