📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The app adds Clerk authentication with Secure Store token caching. It replaces placeholder authentication screens with sign-in and verified sign-up flows. Protected home and settings screens display Clerk user data and support sign-out.

Changes

Clerk authentication

Layer / File(s) Summary
Authentication foundation
.gitignore, app.json, package.json, app/_layout.tsx
The app adds Clerk and Secure Store configuration, ignores .env, validates the publishable key, and wraps the router in ClerkProvider.
Sign-in flow
app/(auth)/sign-in.tsx
The sign-in screen validates credentials, creates and activates Clerk sessions, handles errors, and links to sign-up.
Sign-up and verification flow
app/(auth)/sign-up.tsx
The sign-up screen creates accounts, sends verification codes, verifies codes, activates sessions, and navigates to /(tabs).
Authenticated route and account screens
app/index.tsx, app/(tabs)/index.tsx, app/(tabs)/settings.jsx
The index route redirects to tabs. Home and settings screens use Clerk user data, redirect signed-out users, and provide sign-out controls.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 32ca8

This PR adds Clerk authentication and logout behavior, but the current implementation can activate sessions twice and leaves some protected routes reachable without authentication; missing runtime configuration can also prevent the app from starting. These issues create concrete authentication and access-control risk, so the PR should not merge until the main auth-flow and route-protection problems are fixed.

app/(tabs)/settings.jsx (1)

1-14: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Rename this screen to settings.tsx and use useAuth().signOut.

Two consistency points:

  1. Every other route in app/ uses .tsx. A .jsx file skips type checking, so Clerk user field access here is unchecked.
  2. useAuth() already exposes signOut, and app/(tabs)/index.tsx uses it that way. The extra useClerk() call is not needed.

The module-scope throw crashes the app before any UI renders.

This throw executes during module evaluation. In a release build the user sees a native crash and no explanation. Consider rendering an error screen instead, and keeping the throw for development only.

Use one ClerkProvider and render the conditional content inside it.

The component creates two ClerkProvider instances with identical props. When fontError changes, the provider subtree remounts and Clerk re-initializes. A single provider removes the duplication.

Both auth screens mix the Core 3 finalize() pattern with the legacy setActive() pattern. In @clerk/expo 4.x, finalize() converts the completed attempt into the active session and updates useAuth(). Clerk reserves setActive({ session }) for the SSO and OAuth hooks. Calling both activates the session twice.

Clerk React Native custom sign-up screen clerk-captcha nativeID bot protection documentation

💡 Result:

To implement bot protection in a custom React Native sign-up screen with Clerk, you should use the clerk-captcha element, but the configuration requirements differ from web implementations [1][2]. Key Implementation Details: - The Element: You must include a View with the property nativeID="clerk-captcha" in your sign-up screen [1][2]. - nativeID vs id: Unlike web applications that use an HTML id attribute, React Native requires the nativeID prop to identify the CAPTCHA container [2]. - Native API Requirement: Because browser-based CAPTCHA challenges are generally not supported in native mobile environments, you must enable the Native API in your Clerk Dashboard under the Native applications page [3][4][5]. Enabling this API provides a public request pathway that effectively bypasses browser-based CAPTCHA challenges, which prevents issues like the "Missing CAPTCHA token" error [3][6][4]. - Bot Protection Setting: While previously the common advice was to disable bot protection entirely for native apps, the current official recommendation is to keep bot protection enabled while ensuring the Native API is active [3][5]. Example Implementation: {/* Other sign-up fields (e.g., TextInput, Button) /} {/ Clerk's CAPTCHA widget placeholder */} If you are using React Native Web within your project, you can customize the widget's appearance by adding a dataSet prop to the same View [1]: <View nativeID="clerk-captcha" dataSet={{ clTheme: 'dark', clSize: 'flexible' }} /> If you encounter a "Missing CAPTCHA token" error, verify that the Native API is enabled in your dashboard and that you have not incorrectly configured your project to expect a browser-based challenge [6][4].

site:clerk.com/docs/expo/guides/development/custom-flows/authentication/bot-sign-up-protection @clerk/expo 4 clerk-captcha nativeID

💡 Result:

In Clerk's Expo SDK, the nativeID="clerk-captcha" prop is used to designate a placeholder View where the CAPTCHA widget renders [1]. This configuration is specifically relevant for web-based sign-up flows in Expo applications [1]. According to official Clerk documentation, the behavior of this element varies by platform: 1. Web: The CAPTCHA widget renders in the View element marked with nativeID="clerk-captcha" [1]. You can customize the widget's appearance (such as theme, size, or language) by passing a dataSet object to this view, which React Native Web renders as data-cl-* attributes [1]. 2. Native (iOS and Android): Clerk skips the browser-based CAPTCHA challenge entirely on native devices [1]. Consequently, no visible widget or placeholder is rendered, and no CAPTCHA challenge is presented to the user [1]. It is recommended to include this View in your custom sign-up form even for native apps; if the element is not found when signUp.create() is called, the SDK will transparently fall back to an invisible widget to handle bot protection [1]. This invisible fallback is automatic and does not provide an interface for users if they are flagged as bots, which is why providing the explicit placeholder is suggested [1].

🌐 Web query:

site:github.com/clerk/javascript @clerk/expo clerk-captcha nativeID bot protection React Native

💡 Result:

Clerk's Bot Protection (CAPTCHA) is a web-based feature designed primarily for browser environments, utilizing Cloudflare Turnstile [1][2]. Because React Native and Expo environments do not render web-based DOM elements like the required clerk-captcha HTML element, they cannot natively support the standard CAPTCHA widget [1][3][4]. As of August 2026, the recommended approach for handling "Missing CAPTCHA token" errors in Expo or React Native applications remains disabling Bot Protection in your Clerk Dashboard [1]. You can do this by navigating to User & Authentication > Attack Protection and turning off the Bot sign-up protection [1]. Key Technical Details: - The "Missing CAPTCHA token" error occurs because Clerk's internal authentication flows (such as SignUp.create) attempt to verify a CAPTCHA challenge by checking for the existence of a clerk-captcha DOM element [1][3]. - While recent developments in @clerk/expo have introduced native UI components (such as AuthView and InlineAuthView) and improved session synchronization [5][6][7], these native modules do not provide an equivalent to the web-based CAPTCHA widget [1]. - Development efforts have focused on ensuring that non-browser runtimes are correctly identified so that other authentication operations, such as token retrieval, function properly without triggering incorrect bot-detection logic [8]. If you are encountering issues, ensure you are using the latest version of @clerk/expo to take advantage of the most recent native enhancements [7], and disable Bot Protection if CAPTCHA-related errors persist during authentication [1].

Add the clerk-captcha mount point for Expo Web.

Because this app supports Expo Web, render <View nativeID="clerk-captcha" /> in the custom sign-up form. Native iOS and Android flows skip the browser CAPTCHA, but the fallback is invisible when the mount point is absent. Flagged web users may therefore have no visible challenge.

Move the authentication guard to app/(tabs)/_layout.tsx.

app/(tabs)/insights.jsx and app/(tabs)/subscriptions.jsx have no per-screen guard, so signed-out users can reach these routes directly. The tabs layout also mounts without checking authentication.

Handle isLoaded and isSignedIn in the tabs layout, then remove the duplicated guards from the tab screens.

In `@app/`(tabs)/index.tsx around lines 31 - 32, Move the isLoaded and isSignedIn
checks from the tab screen component into the tabs layout, returning null while
authentication loads and redirecting signed-out users to /(auth)/sign-in before
rendering tab routes. Remove the duplicated guards from the tab screens so all
tabs, including insights and subscriptions, use the centralized layout guard.

Handle the rejected promise from signOut.

signOut() returns a promise. An unhandled rejection leaves the user signed in with no feedback. app/(tabs)/settings.jsx already wraps signOut() in try/catch.
