Is using async componentDidMount() good?

by

Is using componentDidMount() as an async function good practice in React Native or should I avoid it?

I need to get some info from AsyncStorage when the component mounts, but the only way I know to make that possible is to make the componentDidMount() function async. 

async componentDidMount() {
    let auth = await this.getAuth();
    if (auth) 
        this.checkAuth(auth);
}

Is there any problem with that and are there any other solutions to this problem?
