Installing Debugger

Install Homebrew
run brew install --cask react-native-debugger
Run project using npm run ios
After simulator launches, go to "Device" > "Shake" to launch debugger
Launch the react-native debugger (It's a separate application that's not the browser)
Call showAsyncStorageContentInDev() in the react-native debugger console to see async storage

Running Debugger Notes

You need to close the debugger in your browser so you can use RND (React Native Debugger)
After switching debuggers and/or turning on/off debug mode, you may need to reload the app (try via metro & via the app) for the debugger to work.
If you're seeing the error message below, try restarting metro. If that doesn't fix it, then try rebuilding.
