Please provide the following:

  1. SDK Version: 36.0.0
  2. Platforms(Android/iOS/web/all): iOS

Hi–reading the docs for expo-secure-store, I see:

Please note that for iOS standalone apps, data stored with expo-secure-store can persist across app installs.

What does this mean, exactly? Is this referring to Apple Keychain storing the key-value pairs inserted into SecureStore, and those pairs being retrievable if the expo app were to be installed on any phone with access to that Keychain via iCloud?

Thanks!

Hi! It means that if the app is uninstalled (by the user), and then reinstalled later on, those key-value pairs stored will still be available. It does use keychain services, although I’m not 100% sure that the pairs would be retrievable on other devices with access to that keychain…
