Proposal

Hello, this 6mb limit always has been a pain in the arm, so with the new EAS build system it's now possible to lift it. (According to Brent Vatne himself the creator of expo : https://expo.canny.io/feature-requests/p/ability-to-increase-async-storage-size).

It would be great to have a config plugin : https://docs.expo.dev/guides/config-plugins/
which can add support of next storage, so that 6mb limit would get lifted.

Alternatives

The alternative of course can be not using the next storage, and the old one but be able to configure the size, that is possible if you search this text in the link I provided in the next section Some plugins can be customized by passing an array, where the second argument is the options:

Implementation Details

I don't know much but I have seen other libraries do the same for example rn-firebase has done it, and many more.
But the full tutorial on that seems to be here : https://docs.expo.dev/guides/config-plugins/
