Reaason for dependency component:
BugSnag - used for bug and error tracking within the GAEN mobile code and catching crashes and other hidden issues breaking the app
React Native Community:
Async Storage - Key/Value storage system for React Native. Being used for app specific data. Stores data right in app “local storage”. This package is deprecated - should be removed with another localstorage librarytechnically depreciated but it hasn’t been upgraded since the depreciation notice so it’s safe to keep it for now.
