feat(expo-native-components): opt-in Restore Credentials for the Android AuthView - #10233
From April 2027, Google Play requires apps with sign-in to keep users signed in when they move to a new Android device (Restore Credentials). Expo apps that use the prebuilt native AuthView had no way to turn this on.
This adds an opt-in enableRestoreCredentials?: boolean prop (default false) to AuthView:
<AuthViewenableRestoreCredentials/>
JS/TS: the prop is declared and documented on AuthViewProps (Android only, opt-in, needs passkeys enabled on the instance). @clerk/expo/native-components re-exports these types, so it needs no change.
Android:ClerkAuthViewModule gets an enableRestoreCredentials view prop and passes it to the Compose AuthView(enableRestoreCredentials = ...) from clerk-android fix(clerk-js): Form errors not displayed when form submitted with enter #1097. With it on, a signed-out AuthView tries the restore credential that device setup transferred, but only on the first launch after the app is installed or restored onto a device. After sign-in or sign-up it creates a restore credential for the signed-in user in the background. That replaces the one this device created for the same user before, and the device's single restore credential belongs to the most recent user. It needs passkeys enabled as a first factor.
Sign-out: a sign-out from JS doesn't go through the native SDK's sign-out, so before this it left the device's restore key in place. ClerkExpoModule now watches Clerk.clientFlow and calls Clerk.restoreCredentials.clear() when a user who was signed in (active or pending) is no longer signed in on the client, whichever side ended it. That matches native signOut(sessionId), which clears the key even when other sessions remain. The check is ClerkSignOutDetector, which:
compares signed-in users rather than sessions, so a device-token swap to a client where the same user is signed in keeps the key;
skips clients that have no id yet (the null from a reset, the empty Client() during a device-token swap) and keeps the last real client across them, so a configuration switch still clears the old instance's key;
skips a session that had already passed its expire_at, so a session that reaches its maximum lifetime keeps the key, as on native. FAPI leaves non-active sessions out of the client, so an inactivity timeout or a revocation looks the same as a sign-out and still clears it.
A failed clear is logged and not retried, as in the native SDK. The module's Kotlin tests need an Expo host project and aren't run in CI, so I ran ClerkSignOutDetectorTest by copying the detector and test into clerk-android 1.3.0's :source:api unit tests (5 passed).
iOS: the prop is accepted and ignored. AuthView only forwards it to the native view on Android, so the iOS view definition is unchanged.
Main now pins clerk-android 1.3.0, which includes enableRestoreCredentials (clerk/clerk-android#1097, released in 1.2.0), so no version bump is needed here. I haven't compiled the module in an Expo app or run it on a device.
Possible follow-up: standalone JS APIs for restore credentials (create / sign in / clear) outside of AuthView. Those need a design for syncing auth state between the native SDK and the JS client, so they're not in this PR.

It looks like this branch is under active development. To avoid overwhelming you with review comments due to an influx of new commits, CodeRabbit has automatically paused this review. You can configure this behavior by changing the reviews.auto_review.auto_pause_after_reviewed_commits setting.
AuthView adds an enableRestoreCredentials prop that defaults to false and is forwarded to the native view on Android. The changes document its first-launch restore behavior and passkey requirements. Android client synchronization now detects qualifying sign-outs and attempts restore-credential cleanup. Tests cover prop forwarding and the sign-out detector’s session and expiry cases.
clerk/javascript#10594: Updates the clerk-android dependency pins, changing the SDK contract used by the restore-credential integration.
clerk/javascript#10611: Updates the clerk-android dependency pins again, affecting the SDK contract used by the feature.

Explanation
The title "feat(expo-native-components): opt-in Restore Credentials for the Android AuthView" matches the main change. The PR adds an opt-in enableRestoreCredentials prop to the Android AuthView, and the changeset covers the JS, Android view, and sign-out detector changes. It is specific and scoped to the Expo native components package. It does not cover the sign-out detector, but that is secondary and expected.

…the restore key on JS sign-out
Match the final clerk/clerk-android#1097 behaviour in the AuthView TSDoc and the changeset: restore is tried only on the first launch after install or restore, the device's restore key belongs to the most recent user and replaces that user's previous one, and passkeys must be a first factor.
When a JS-originated client sync takes the client from having sessions to none, call Clerk.restoreCredentials.clear() so a JS sign-out deletes the device's restore key like a native sign-out does.

…in session ends
Watch the native client instead of comparing it around a JS-requested
refresh, so a sign-out that native sees first still clears the key, and
clear it when any signed-in session ends, as native signOut(sessionId) does.

This looks good to me. Pinning clerk-android 1.3.0 (which has AuthView(enableRestoreCredentials)) and resolving the merge conflict cleared what was blocking it. Watching clientFlow holds up better than comparing the client before and after a JS refresh. I checked these against the 1.3.0 SDK sources:
Auth.signOut(sessionId) clears the key even when other sessions remain, so the parity claim holds.
Clerk.reset() sets the client to null without ending any session, so ignoring null is correct.
RestoreCredentials.clear() catches everything, so the watcher can't crash.
None of the three inline comments block merging. The expiry one is the one I'd most like an answer on.
…nt swaps and resets
Compare signed-in users instead of sessions, skip clients that have no id yet,
and leave sessions that passed their expire_at alone.

Prevent stale restore-credential cleanup from affecting a later sign-in.
When this condition returns true, ClerkExpoModule starts clearRestoreCredential() in a separate coroutine. A new signed-in client can arrive before that cleanup completes. The cleanup can then cancel the new credential's creation or clear the credential after it is created.
Track and await cleanup before processing the next client state, or cancel or guard stale cleanup when a newer signed-in client is observed. Add a test for sign-out followed immediately by sign-in.
