react-native withOAuth logins not persisted after app restart

[ejdoh1]

Describe the bug
After a fresh create react native app using RN 0.61.4 and using App.js and aws-exports.js from (known working) https://github.com/manueliglesias/hosted-ui-react-native-cli, the user does not remain signed in after the app is restarted.

To Reproduce

1. Run the react native app from repo https://github.com/ejdoh1/rnhui
2. react-native run-android
3. Launch the app and login using Google or other
4. After successful login, swipe-kill the app
5. Relaunch the app noting the user is prompted to re-login

Expected behavior
As with the example repo using RN version 0.58, after the app is relaunched, the user should not be prompted to sign in again.
