RN@0.72.3 - FlatList Cannot read property 'getItem' of undefined".

[BrianJVarley]

Hey @jfilter 👋 , I'm using this component in a "react-native": "^0.72.3", app but run into a runtime error on render. Seems there is some bug with the FlatList used internally in Onboarding component (react-native-onboarding-swiper) - "ERROR TypeError: Cannot read property 'getItem' of undefined".

Any ideas what's wrong here? Looking at my usage below it seems to be following the same config as your simple-example . Also the image resource is in the same folder specified in the require path.

Component usage:

import React from 'react';
import {View, Text, TouchableOpacity, Image} from 'react-native';
import Onboarding from 'react-native-onboarding-swiper';

  return (
    <Onboarding
      pages={[
        {
          backgroundColor: '#fff',
          image: <Image source={require('../images/diagram-1.png')} />,
          title: 'Welcome to Simple Offset Pro',
          subtitle:
            'Effortlessly calculate square offsets and bend cable tray or HVAC ducting sheet metal with Simple Offset',
        },
      ]}
    />
  );
};

export default CustomOnboardingComponent;

Error log while debugging the app locally:

 ERROR  TypeError: Cannot read property 'getItem' of undefined

This error is located at:
    in FlatList (created by Onboarding)
    in RCTView (created by View)
    in View
    in Unknown (created by Onboarding)

Actually the following RN issue solves it by adding a new babel plugin - https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/36828 to the project - @babel/plugin-transform-flow-strip-types
