Set up React Native SDK

Install the package

$yarn add @launchdarkly/react-native-client-sdk

LaunchDarkly’s React Native SDK v10 uses @react-native-async-storage/async-storage for bootstrapping. If you are not using Expo, you must explicitly add it as a dependency.

$yarn add @react-native-async-storage/async-storage
