import logo from '../assets/logo.png';

export default function List () {

const [techs, setTechs] = useState ([]);


useEffect(() => {
    AsyncStorage.getItem('techs')
        .then((storagedTechs) => {
            const techsArray = storagedTechs.split(',').map(tech => tech.trim())

            setTechs(techsArray)
        })
},[]);

Answer 1

I would have tried adding catch block after then block, like

 .then((storagedTechs) => { const techsArray = storagedTechs.split(',').map(tech => tech.trim()) setTechs(techsArray) }).catch(err => { if (err) console.error(err); });

This will help you in further debugging.
