React Native Share Extension - Access to AsyncStorage?

I am working on an application in react native, and was taking a look at some tutorials for creating a 'share extension' within the app. I see on npm react-native-share-extension how to create the extension within the project in xcode, and create a new component with a second AppRegistry (shown from npm example).

//index.ios.js 
import React from 'react'
import { AppRegistry } from 'react-native'

import App from './app.ios'
import Share from './share.ios'

AppRegistry.registerComponent('Sample1', () => App)
AppRegistry.registerComponent('MyShareEx', () => Share)

Does anyone know if the share component would have access to the data stored by the main app in AsyncStorage? (i.e my login token)

Thanks!

I would recommend to use native share extension since share extension have limited memory limit. It causes memory issue if you invoke react app from extenion.

You need to use App Groups. That is where you can store shared data.

There is a plugin for React Native that works very well for iOS. I'm using it myself.

Check out: https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-native-shared-group-preferences
