Detox with @react-native-community/async-storage issue?

Question

I am trying to set up my project to run detox e2e tests that were generated by someone else. I am getting an issue that Async-Storage is null. The project runs properly if I am just doing run-android or run-ios, but when I try to run the detox tests, I get the error. Is there a way that I am supposed to mock this function like with Jest? I tried google the error and Async-Storage with detox, but I only get people having issues with the Android setup, with which I am not having issues. My issues only arise when running detox tests. Any help is greatly appreciated!

In case anyone has this same issue and runs across this, make sure you add this to your setup file for detox/jest:

import mockAsyncStorage from "@react-native-community/async-storage/jest/async-storage-mock";

jest.mock("@react-native-community/async-storage", () => mockAsyncStorage);
