Description

Renames the @clerk/expo biometric authentication API around biometric credentials, introducing useBiometricCredentials() and the corresponding BiometricCredential types.

The existing useTrustedDevices() API and trusted-device types remain available as deprecated compatibility aliases. Calling the deprecated hook displays a one-time development warning, and its existing deviceName enrollment option is translated to the new name option.

This is a backwards-compatible minor release. Existing Expo applications can continue using the trusted-device API until it is removed in a future major version.

Tested with the Expo test suite, package and declaration builds, formatting, and linting.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Expo package adds biometric credential types, errors, exports, platform fallbacks, and the useBiometricCredentials hook. Android and iOS bridges now use biometric credential operations. Trusted-device APIs remain available through deprecated aliases and compatibility adapters. Tests cover native operations, synchronization, sign-in state, errors, and unsupported platforms. Documentation and release metadata use the new terminology.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk:⚪ Minimal · up to a2b47

This PR renames the Expo biometric credentials API while retaining deprecated trusted-device aliases for compatibility; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.

51-55: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Document the trusted-device deprecation and the migration path.

This section now uses biometric-credential terminology only. Existing users of useTrustedDevices() get no migration pointer here. Add one line that states the trusted-device exports are deprecated aliases and that deviceName maps to name.

📝 Proposed addition
 Biometric credential operations preserve Clerk API and native biometric error codes. Use `isBiometricCredentialError(error)` to safely inspect `error.code`; unrecognized error codes remain available for forward compatibility, while unfamiliar platform and status values are normalized to `unknown`.
++`useTrustedDevices()` and the trusted-device types remain available as deprecated aliases. Replace them with `useBiometricCredentials()` and the biometric credential types. When you enroll, use `name` instead of `deviceName`.

Call the unsupported-platform hook through renderHook. The direct calls trigger the repository’s react-hooks/rules-of-hooks warning because the alias follows the hook naming convention. Use renderBiometricCredentials for the availability and enrollment tests, and use renderHook with rerender for the identity test.

Add coverage for the throwable overload of biometricCredentialBridgeError.

The suite tests only the ClerkResult.Failure overload. ClerkExpoModule.kt lines 113-123 define a second overload that takes a Throwable. Every rejectBiometricCredentialException call site uses that overload, so it covers the catch block of all five bridge operations. Two branches stay untested:

  • A BiometricCredentialKeyManagerException maps to its normalized code.
  • A plain exception falls back to fallbackCode and, when message is null, to fallbackMessage.

Add tests for both branches.

credential contracts, including BiometricCredentialUnavailableReason,
availability, policy, platform, status, credential, parameter types,
BiometricSignInResult, and UseBiometricCredentialsReturn; describe each contract
and its important values without changing the type definitions or API behavior.
Apply the same fix in `@packages/expo/src/biometric-credentials/errors.ts` around
lines 1 - 29: The same public-export documentation requirement applies to the
new error API.

let's state here that useTrustedDevices is deprecated and will be removed in the next major as well 🙏🏼

Description
Renames the @clerk/expo biometric authentication API around biometric credentials, introducing useBiometricCredentials() and the corresponding BiometricCredential types.
The existing useTrustedDevices() API and trusted-device types remain available as deprecated compatibility aliases. Calling the deprecated hook displays a one-time development warning, and its existing deviceName enrollment option is translated to the new name option.
This is a backwards-compatible minor release. Existing Expo applications can continue using the trusted-device API until it is removed in a future major version.
Tested with the Expo test suite, package and declaration builds, formatting, and linting.

Static analyzer: Breaking change in type alias GetTrustedDeviceAvailabilityParams: Type changed: {id?:string;identifierHint?:string;} → import("@clerk/expo").GetBiometricCredentialAvailabilityParams
🤖 AI review (reclassified as non-breaking) (97%): GetBiometricCredentialAvailabilityParams resolves to { id?: string; identifierHint?: string; } which is structurally identical to the previous inline definition of GetTrustedDeviceAvailabilityParams, so no consumer code is affected.
Modified: SignInWithTrustedDeviceParams
- export type SignInWithTrustedDeviceParams = {- id?: string;- identifierHint?: string;- reason?: string;- };+ export type SignInWithTrustedDeviceParams = SignInWithBiometricsParams;
Static analyzer: Breaking change in type alias SignInWithTrustedDeviceParams: Type changed: {id?:string;identifierHint?:string;reason?:string;} → import("@clerk/expo").SignInWithBiometricsParams
🤖 AI review (reclassified as non-breaking) (97%): SignInWithBiometricsParams resolves to { id?: string; identifierHint?: string; reason?: string; } which is structurally identical to the previous inline definition of SignInWithTrustedDeviceParams, so no consumer code is affected.
Modified: TrustedDevice
- export type TrustedDevice = {- id: string;- object: 'trusted_device';- platform: TrustedDevicePlatform;- appIdentifier: string;- name: string | null;- algorithm: 'ES256' | (string & {});- status: TrustedDeviceStatus;- createdAt: Date;- updatedAt: Date;- lastUsedAt: Date | null;- revokedAt: Date | null;- };+ export type TrustedDevice = BiometricCredential;

📝 Walkthrough
Walkthrough
The Expo package adds biometric credential types, errors, exports, platform fallbacks, and the useBiometricCredentials hook. Android and iOS bridges now use biometric credential operations. Trusted-device APIs remain available through deprecated aliases and compatibility adapters. Tests cover native operations, synchronization, sign-in state, errors, and unsupported platforms. Documentation and release metadata use the new terminology.
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes
Merge Risk:⚪ Minimal · up to a2b47

51-55: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win
Document the trusted-device deprecation and the migration path.
This section now uses biometric-credential terminology only. Existing users of useTrustedDevices() get no migration pointer here. Add one line that states the trusted-device exports are deprecated aliases and that deviceName maps to name.
📝 Proposed addition
 Biometric credential operations preserve Clerk API and native biometric error codes. Use `isBiometricCredentialError(error)` to safely inspect `error.code`; unrecognized error codes remain available for forward compatibility, while unfamiliar platform and status values are normalized to `unknown`.
++`useTrustedDevices()` and the trusted-device types remain available as deprecated aliases. Replace them with `useBiometricCredentials()` and the biometric credential types. When you enroll, use `name` instead of `deviceName`.

As per coding guidelines: "Deprecate features properly with migration paths".

Call the unsupported-platform hook through renderHook. The direct calls trigger the repository’s react-hooks/rules-of-hooks warning because the alias follows the hook naming convention. Use renderBiometricCredentials for the availability and enrollment tests, and use renderHook with rerender for the identity test.

Add coverage for the throwable overload of biometricCredentialBridgeError.
The suite tests only the ClerkResult.Failure overload. ClerkExpoModule.kt lines 113-123 define a second overload that takes a Throwable. Every rejectBiometricCredentialException call site uses that overload, so it covers the catch block of all five bridge operations. Two branches stay untested:
  • A BiometricCredentialKeyManagerException maps to its normalized code.
  • A plain exception falls back to fallbackCode and, when message is null, to fallbackMessage.
Add tests for both branches.
As per coding guidelines: "Verify proper error handling and edge cases".

Description
Renames the @clerk/expo biometric authentication API around biometric credentials, introducing useBiometricCredentials() and the corresponding BiometricCredential types.
The existing useTrustedDevices() API and trusted-device types remain available as deprecated compatibility aliases. Calling the deprecated hook displays a one-time development warning, and its existing deviceName enrollment option is translated to the new name option.
This is a backwards-compatible minor release. Existing Expo applications can continue using the trusted-device API until it is removed in a future major version.
Tested with the Expo test suite, package and declaration builds, formatting, and linting.

Static analyzer: Breaking change in type alias GetTrustedDeviceAvailabilityParams: Type changed: {id?:string;identifierHint?:string;} → import("@clerk/expo").GetBiometricCredentialAvailabilityParams
🤖 AI review (reclassified as non-breaking) (97%): GetBiometricCredentialAvailabilityParams resolves to { id?: string; identifierHint?: string; } which is structurally identical to the previous inline definition of GetTrustedDeviceAvailabilityParams, so no consumer code is affected.
Modified: SignInWithTrustedDeviceParams
- export type SignInWithTrustedDeviceParams = {- id?: string;- identifierHint?: string;- reason?: string;- };+ export type SignInWithTrustedDeviceParams = SignInWithBiometricsParams;
Static analyzer: Breaking change in type alias SignInWithTrustedDeviceParams: Type changed: {id?:string;identifierHint?:string;reason?:string;} → import("@clerk/expo").SignInWithBiometricsParams
🤖 AI review (reclassified as non-breaking) (97%): SignInWithBiometricsParams resolves to { id?: string; identifierHint?: string; reason?: string; } which is structurally identical to the previous inline definition of SignInWithTrustedDeviceParams, so no consumer code is affected.
Modified: TrustedDevice
- export type TrustedDevice = {- id: string;- object: 'trusted_device';- platform: TrustedDevicePlatform;- appIdentifier: string;- name: string | null;- algorithm: 'ES256' | (string & {});- status: TrustedDeviceStatus;- createdAt: Date;- updatedAt: Date;- lastUsedAt: Date | null;- revokedAt: Date | null;- };+ export type TrustedDevice = BiometricCredential;
Static analyzer: Breaking change in type alias TrustedDevice: Type changed: {id:string;object:'trusted_device';platform:import("@clerk/expo").TrustedDevicePlatform;appIdentifier:string;name:null|… → import("@clerk/expo").BiometricCredential
🤖 AI review (reclassified as non-breaking) (97%): BiometricCredential resolves to the same shape as the previous inline TrustedDevice definition (same fields, same types including TrustedDevicePlatform→BiometricCredentialPlatform and TrustedDeviceStatus→BiometricCredentialStatus which are themselves structurally identical), so no consumer code is affected.
Modified: TrustedDeviceAvailability
- export type TrustedDeviceAvailability = {- isAvailable: boolean;- unavailableReason: TrustedDeviceUnavailableReason | null;- };+ export type TrustedDeviceAvailability = BiometricCredentialAvailability;
Static analyzer: Breaking change in type alias TrustedDeviceAvailability: Type changed: {isAvailable:boolean;unavailableReason:import("@clerk/expo").TrustedDeviceUnavailableReason|null;} → import("@clerk/expo").BiometricCredentialAvailability
🤖 AI review (reclassified as non-breaking) (97%): BiometricCredentialAvailability resolves to { isAvailable: boolean; unavailableReason: BiometricCredentialUnavailableReason | null; }, which is structurally identical to the previous inline TrustedDeviceAvailability definition (since BiometricCredentialUnavailableReason equals the old TrustedDeviceUnavailableReason).
Modified: TrustedDeviceError
- export type TrustedDeviceError = Error & {- code: TrustedDeviceErrorCode;- };+ export type TrustedDeviceError = BiometricCredentialError;
Static analyzer: Breaking change in type alias TrustedDeviceError: Type changed: !Error:interface&{code:import("@clerk/expo").TrustedDeviceErrorCode;} → import("@clerk/expo").BiometricCredentialError
🤖 AI review (reclassified as non-breaking) (97%): BiometricCredentialError resolves to Error & { code: BiometricCredentialErrorCode; }, which is structurally identical to the previous TrustedDeviceError definition since BiometricCredentialErrorCode equals the old TrustedDeviceErrorCode.

📝 Walkthrough
Walkthrough
The Expo package adds biometric credential types, errors, exports, platform fallbacks, and the useBiometricCredentials hook. Android and iOS bridges now use biometric credential operations. Trusted-device APIs remain available through deprecated aliases and compatibility adapters. Tests cover native operations, synchronization, sign-in state, errors, and unsupported platforms. Documentation and release metadata use the new terminology.
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes
Merge Risk:⚪ Minimal · up to a2b47
This PR renames the Expo biometric credentials API while retaining deprecated trusted-device aliases for compatibility; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.

51-55: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win
Document the trusted-device deprecation and the migration path.
This section now uses biometric-credential terminology only. Existing users of useTrustedDevices() get no migration pointer here. Add one line that states the trusted-device exports are deprecated aliases and that deviceName maps to name.
📝 Proposed addition
 Biometric credential operations preserve Clerk API and native biometric error codes. Use `isBiometricCredentialError(error)` to safely inspect `error.code`; unrecognized error codes remain available for forward compatibility, while unfamiliar platform and status values are normalized to `unknown`.
++`useTrustedDevices()` and the trusted-device types remain available as deprecated aliases. Replace them with `useBiometricCredentials()` and the biometric credential types. When you enroll, use `name` instead of `deviceName`.

As per coding guidelines: "Deprecate features properly with migration paths".

Call the unsupported-platform hook through renderHook. The direct calls trigger the repository’s react-hooks/rules-of-hooks warning because the alias follows the hook naming convention. Use renderBiometricCredentials for the availability and enrollment tests, and use renderHook with rerender for the identity test.

Add coverage for the throwable overload of biometricCredentialBridgeError.
The suite tests only the ClerkResult.Failure overload. ClerkExpoModule.kt lines 113-123 define a second overload that takes a Throwable. Every rejectBiometricCredentialException call site uses that overload, so it covers the catch block of all five bridge operations. Two branches stay untested:
  • A BiometricCredentialKeyManagerException maps to its normalized code.
  • A plain exception falls back to fallbackCode and, when message is null, to fallbackMessage.
Add tests for both branches.

Description
Renames the @clerk/expo biometric authentication API around biometric credentials, introducing useBiometricCredentials() and the corresponding BiometricCredential types.
The existing useTrustedDevices() API and trusted-device types remain available as deprecated compatibility aliases. Calling the deprecated hook displays a one-time development warning, and its existing deviceName enrollment option is translated to the new name option.
This is a backwards-compatible minor release. Existing Expo applications can continue using the trusted-device API until it is removed in a future major version.
Tested with the Expo test suite, package and declaration builds, formatting, and linting.

📝 Walkthrough
Walkthrough
The Expo package adds biometric credential types, errors, exports, platform fallbacks, and the useBiometricCredentials hook. Android and iOS bridges now use biometric credential operations. Trusted-device APIs remain available through deprecated aliases and compatibility adapters. Tests cover native operations, synchronization, sign-in state, errors, and unsupported platforms. Documentation and release metadata use the new terminology.
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes
Merge Risk:⚪ Minimal · up to a2b47
This PR renames the Expo biometric credentials API while retaining deprecated trusted-device aliases for compatibility; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.

51-55: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win
Document the trusted-device deprecation and the migration path.
This section now uses biometric-credential terminology only. Existing users of useTrustedDevices() get no migration pointer here. Add one line that states the trusted-device exports are deprecated aliases and that deviceName maps to name.
📝 Proposed addition
 Biometric credential operations preserve Clerk API and native biometric error codes. Use `isBiometricCredentialError(error)` to safely inspect `error.code`; unrecognized error codes remain available for forward compatibility, while unfamiliar platform and status values are normalized to `unknown`.
++`useTrustedDevices()` and the trusted-device types remain available as deprecated aliases. Replace them with `useBiometricCredentials()` and the biometric credential types. When you enroll, use `name` instead of `deviceName`.

As per coding guidelines: "Deprecate features properly with migration paths".

Call the unsupported-platform hook through renderHook. The direct calls trigger the repository’s react-hooks/rules-of-hooks warning because the alias follows the hook naming convention. Use renderBiometricCredentials for the availability and enrollment tests, and use renderHook with rerender for the identity test.

Add coverage for the throwable overload of biometricCredentialBridgeError.
The suite tests only the ClerkResult.Failure overload. ClerkExpoModule.kt lines 113-123 define a second overload that takes a Throwable. Every rejectBiometricCredentialException call site uses that overload, so it covers the catch block of all five bridge operations. Two branches stay untested:
  • A BiometricCredentialKeyManagerException maps to its normalized code.
  • A plain exception falls back to fallbackCode and, when message is null, to fallbackMessage.
Add tests for both branches.

initialization before calling Clerk.biometricCredentials.availability; when the
environment is unavailable, resolve the promise with isAvailable false and
unavailableReason environment_unavailable, matching the iOS behavior, and

enrollment coverage.

Description
Renames the @clerk/expo biometric authentication API around biometric credentials, introducing useBiometricCredentials() and the corresponding BiometricCredential types.
The existing useTrustedDevices() API and trusted-device types remain available as deprecated compatibility aliases. Calling the deprecated hook displays a one-time development warning, and its existing deviceName enrollment option is translated to the new name option.
This is a backwards-compatible minor release. Existing Expo applications can continue using the trusted-device API until it is removed in a future major version.
Tested with the Expo test suite, package and declaration builds, formatting, and linting.

📝 Walkthrough
Walkthrough
The Expo package adds biometric credential types, errors, exports, platform fallbacks, and the useBiometricCredentials hook. Android and iOS bridges now use biometric credential operations. Trusted-device APIs remain available through deprecated aliases and compatibility adapters. Tests cover native operations, synchronization, sign-in state, errors, and unsupported platforms. Documentation and release metadata use the new terminology.

51-55: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win
Document the trusted-device deprecation and the migration path.
This section now uses biometric-credential terminology only. Existing users of useTrustedDevices() get no migration pointer here. Add one line that states the trusted-device exports are deprecated aliases and that deviceName maps to name.
📝 Proposed addition
 Biometric credential operations preserve Clerk API and native biometric error codes. Use `isBiometricCredentialError(error)` to safely inspect `error.code`; unrecognized error codes remain available for forward compatibility, while unfamiliar platform and status values are normalized to `unknown`.
++`useTrustedDevices()` and the trusted-device types remain available as deprecated aliases. Replace them with `useBiometricCredentials()` and the biometric credential types. When you enroll, use `name` instead of `deviceName`.

Call the unsupported-platform hook through renderHook. The direct calls trigger the repository’s react-hooks/rules-of-hooks warning because the alias follows the hook naming convention. Use renderBiometricCredentials for the availability and enrollment tests, and use renderHook with rerender for the identity test.

Add coverage for the throwable overload of biometricCredentialBridgeError.
The suite tests only the ClerkResult.Failure overload. ClerkExpoModule.kt lines 113-123 define a second overload that takes a Throwable. Every rejectBiometricCredentialException call site uses that overload, so it covers the catch block of all five bridge operations. Two branches stay untested:
  • A BiometricCredentialKeyManagerException maps to its normalized code.
  • A plain exception falls back to fallbackCode and, when message is null, to fallbackMessage.
Add tests for both branches.

environment is unavailable, resolve the promise with isAvailable false and
unavailableReason environment_unavailable, matching the iOS behavior, and
otherwise preserve the existing SDK call and exception handling.
In `@packages/expo/src/trusted-devices/__tests__/useTrustedDevices.test.ts`:
- Around line 48-68: Add a test covering useTrustedDevices().enroll() without
parameters, asserting the biometricCredentials.enroll mock is called with
undefined and that the promise result is forwarded correctly. Anchor the new
case near the existing enrollment tests and preserve current parameterized
enrollment coverage.
---
Nitpick comments:
In
`@packages/expo/android/src/test/java/expo/modules/clerk/BiometricCredentialBridgeTest.kt`:
- Around line 102-141: Add tests for the Throwable overload of
biometricCredentialBridgeError covering both branches: verify
BiometricCredentialKeyManagerException uses
biometricCredentialKeyManagerErrorCode for its normalized code, and verify a
plain exception uses fallbackCode plus fallbackMessage when its message is null.
In `@packages/expo/README.md`:
- Around line 51-55: Add a migration note to the Biometric sign-in section
stating that trusted-device exports, including useTrustedDevices(), are
deprecated aliases for biometric-credential APIs and that deviceName maps to
name.
In
`@packages/expo/src/biometric-credentials/__tests__/useBiometricCredentials.test.ts`:
- Around line 598-616: Update the unsupported-platform tests to invoke the hook
through React Testing Library: use renderBiometricCredentials for availability
and enrollment assertions, and use renderHook with rerender in the
stable-identity test. Preserve the existing availability and rejection
expectations while eliminating direct calls to
useBiometricCredentialsOnUnsupportedPlatform.
In `@packages/expo/src/biometric-credentials/index.ts`:
- Around line 1-3: Remove the biometric-credentials index.ts barrel and move its
exports for errors, types, and useBiometricCredentials directly into the package
entry point. Update imports or references as needed so consumers use the
package-level exports without retaining the folder re-export layer.
In `@packages/expo/src/biometric-credentials/types.ts`:
- Around line 3-73: Add concise JSDoc to every exported type in the biometric
credential contracts, including BiometricCredentialUnavailableReason,
availability, policy, platform, status, credential, parameter types,
BiometricSignInResult, and UseBiometricCredentialsReturn; describe each contract
and its important values without changing the type definitions or API behavior.
Apply the same fix in `@packages/expo/src/biometric-credentials/errors.ts` around
lines 1 - 29: The same public-export documentation requirement applies to the
new error API.

Description
Renames the @clerk/expo biometric authentication API around biometric credentials, introducing useBiometricCredentials() and the corresponding BiometricCredential types.
The existing useTrustedDevices() API and trusted-device types remain available as deprecated compatibility aliases. Calling the deprecated hook displays a one-time development warning, and its existing deviceName enrollment option is translated to the new name option.
This is a backwards-compatible minor release. Existing Expo applications can continue using the trusted-device API until it is removed in a future major version.
Tested with the Expo test suite, package and declaration builds, formatting, and linting.

Static analyzer: Breaking change in type alias GetTrustedDeviceAvailabilityParams: Type changed: {id?:string;identifierHint?:string;} → import("@clerk/expo").GetBiometricCredentialAvailabilityParams
🤖 AI review (reclassified as non-breaking) (97%): GetBiometricCredentialAvailabilityParams resolves to { id?: string; identifierHint?: string; } which is structurally identical to the previous inline definition of GetTrustedDeviceAvailabilityParams, so no consumer code is affected.
Modified: SignInWithTrustedDeviceParams
- export type SignInWithTrustedDeviceParams = {- id?: string;- identifierHint?: string;- reason?: string;- };+ export type SignInWithTrustedDeviceParams = SignInWithBiometricsParams;
Static analyzer: Breaking change in type alias SignInWithTrustedDeviceParams: Type changed: {id?:string;identifierHint?:string;reason?:string;} → import("@clerk/expo").SignInWithBiometricsParams
🤖 AI review (reclassified as non-breaking) (97%): SignInWithBiometricsParams resolves to { id?: string; identifierHint?: string; reason?: string; } which is structurally identical to the previous inline definition of SignInWithTrustedDeviceParams, so no consumer code is affected.
Modified: TrustedDevice
- export type TrustedDevice = {- id: string;- object: 'trusted_device';- platform: TrustedDevicePlatform;- appIdentifier: string;- name: string | null;- algorithm: 'ES256' | (string & {});- status: TrustedDeviceStatus;- createdAt: Date;- updatedAt: Date;- lastUsedAt: Date | null;- revokedAt: Date | null;- };+ export type TrustedDevice = BiometricCredential;
Static analyzer: Breaking change in type alias TrustedDevice: Type changed: {id:string;object:'trusted_device';platform:import("@clerk/expo").TrustedDevicePlatform;appIdentifier:string;name:null|… → import("@clerk/expo").BiometricCredential
🤖 AI review (reclassified as non-breaking) (97%): BiometricCredential resolves to the same shape as the previous inline TrustedDevice definition (same fields, same types including TrustedDevicePlatform→BiometricCredentialPlatform and TrustedDeviceStatus→BiometricCredentialStatus which are themselves structurally identical), so no consumer code is affected.
Modified: TrustedDeviceAvailability
- export type TrustedDeviceAvailability = {- isAvailable: boolean;- unavailableReason: TrustedDeviceUnavailableReason | null;- };+ export type TrustedDeviceAvailability = BiometricCredentialAvailability;
Static analyzer: Breaking change in type alias TrustedDeviceAvailability: Type changed: {isAvailable:boolean;unavailableReason:import("@clerk/expo").TrustedDeviceUnavailableReason|null;} → import("@clerk/expo").BiometricCredentialAvailability
🤖 AI review (reclassified as non-breaking) (97%): BiometricCredentialAvailability resolves to { isAvailable: boolean; unavailableReason: BiometricCredentialUnavailableReason | null; }, which is structurally identical to the previous inline TrustedDeviceAvailability definition (since BiometricCredentialUnavailableReason equals the old TrustedDeviceUnavailableReason).
Modified: TrustedDeviceError
- export type TrustedDeviceError = Error & {- code: TrustedDeviceErrorCode;- };+ export type TrustedDeviceError = BiometricCredentialError;
Static analyzer: Breaking change in type alias TrustedDeviceError: Type changed: !Error:interface&{code:import("@clerk/expo").TrustedDeviceErrorCode;} → import("@clerk/expo").BiometricCredentialError
🤖 AI review (reclassified as non-breaking) (97%): BiometricCredentialError resolves to Error & { code: BiometricCredentialErrorCode; }, which is structurally identical to the previous TrustedDeviceError definition since BiometricCredentialErrorCode equals the old TrustedDeviceErrorCode.

📝 Walkthrough
Walkthrough
The Expo package adds biometric credential types, errors, exports, platform fallbacks, and the useBiometricCredentials hook. Android and iOS bridges now use biometric credential operations. Trusted-device APIs remain available through deprecated aliases and compatibility adapters. Tests cover native operations, synchronization, sign-in state, errors, and unsupported platforms. Documentation and release metadata use the new terminology.
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes
Merge Risk:⚪ Minimal · up to a2b47

Document the trusted-device deprecation and the migration path.
This section now uses biometric-credential terminology only. Existing users of useTrustedDevices() get no migration pointer here. Add one line that states the trusted-device exports are deprecated aliases and that deviceName maps to name.
📝 Proposed addition
 Biometric credential operations preserve Clerk API and native biometric error codes. Use `isBiometricCredentialError(error)` to safely inspect `error.code`; unrecognized error codes remain available for forward compatibility, while unfamiliar platform and status values are normalized to `unknown`.
++`useTrustedDevices()` and the trusted-device types remain available as deprecated aliases. Replace them with `useBiometricCredentials()` and the biometric credential types. When you enroll, use `name` instead of `deviceName`.

As per coding guidelines: "Deprecate features properly with migration paths".

Call the unsupported-platform hook through renderHook. The direct calls trigger the repository’s react-hooks/rules-of-hooks warning because the alias follows the hook naming convention. Use renderBiometricCredentials for the availability and enrollment tests, and use renderHook with rerender for the identity test.

Add coverage for the throwable overload of biometricCredentialBridgeError.
The suite tests only the ClerkResult.Failure overload. ClerkExpoModule.kt lines 113-123 define a second overload that takes a Throwable. Every rejectBiometricCredentialException call site uses that overload, so it covers the catch block of all five bridge operations. Two branches stay untested:
  • A BiometricCredentialKeyManagerException maps to its normalized code.
  • A plain exception falls back to fallbackCode and, when message is null, to fallbackMessage.
Add tests for both branches.
As per coding guidelines: "Verify proper error handling and edge cases".

Description
Renames the @clerk/expo biometric authentication API around biometric credentials, introducing useBiometricCredentials() and the corresponding BiometricCredential types.
The existing useTrustedDevices() API and trusted-device types remain available as deprecated compatibility aliases. Calling the deprecated hook displays a one-time development warning, and its existing deviceName enrollment option is translated to the new name option.
This is a backwards-compatible minor release. Existing Expo applications can continue using the trusted-device API until it is removed in a future major version.
Tested with the Expo test suite, package and declaration builds, formatting, and linting.

Static analyzer: Breaking change in type alias GetTrustedDeviceAvailabilityParams: Type changed: {id?:string;identifierHint?:string;} → import("@clerk/expo").GetBiometricCredentialAvailabilityParams
🤖 AI review (reclassified as non-breaking) (97%): GetBiometricCredentialAvailabilityParams resolves to { id?: string; identifierHint?: string; } which is structurally identical to the previous inline definition of GetTrustedDeviceAvailabilityParams, so no consumer code is affected.
Modified: SignInWithTrustedDeviceParams
- export type SignInWithTrustedDeviceParams = {- id?: string;- identifierHint?: string;- reason?: string;- };+ export type SignInWithTrustedDeviceParams = SignInWithBiometricsParams;
Static analyzer: Breaking change in type alias SignInWithTrustedDeviceParams: Type changed: {id?:string;identifierHint?:string;reason?:string;} → import("@clerk/expo").SignInWithBiometricsParams
🤖 AI review (reclassified as non-breaking) (97%): SignInWithBiometricsParams resolves to { id?: string; identifierHint?: string; reason?: string; } which is structurally identical to the previous inline definition of SignInWithTrustedDeviceParams, so no consumer code is affected.
Modified: TrustedDevice
- export type TrustedDevice = {- id: string;- object: 'trusted_device';- platform: TrustedDevicePlatform;- appIdentifier: string;- name: string | null;- algorithm: 'ES256' | (string & {});- status: TrustedDeviceStatus;- createdAt: Date;- updatedAt: Date;- lastUsedAt: Date | null;- revokedAt: Date | null;- };+ export type TrustedDevice = BiometricCredential;
Static analyzer: Breaking change in type alias TrustedDevice: Type changed: {id:string;object:'trusted_device';platform:import("@clerk/expo").TrustedDevicePlatform;appIdentifier:string;name:null|… → import("@clerk/expo").BiometricCredential
🤖 AI review (reclassified as non-breaking) (97%): BiometricCredential resolves to the same shape as the previous inline TrustedDevice definition (same fields, same types including TrustedDevicePlatform→BiometricCredentialPlatform and TrustedDeviceStatus→BiometricCredentialStatus which are themselves structurally identical), so no consumer code is affected.
Modified: TrustedDeviceAvailability
- export type TrustedDeviceAvailability = {- isAvailable: boolean;- unavailableReason: TrustedDeviceUnavailableReason | null;- };+ export type TrustedDeviceAvailability = BiometricCredentialAvailability;
Static analyzer: Breaking change in type alias TrustedDeviceAvailability: Type changed: {isAvailable:boolean;unavailableReason:import("@clerk/expo").TrustedDeviceUnavailableReason|null;} → import("@clerk/expo").BiometricCredentialAvailability
🤖 AI review (reclassified as non-breaking) (97%): BiometricCredentialAvailability resolves to { isAvailable: boolean; unavailableReason: BiometricCredentialUnavailableReason | null; }, which is structurally identical to the previous inline TrustedDeviceAvailability definition (since BiometricCredentialUnavailableReason equals the old TrustedDeviceUnavailableReason).
Modified: TrustedDeviceError
- export type TrustedDeviceError = Error & {- code: TrustedDeviceErrorCode;- };+ export type TrustedDeviceError = BiometricCredentialError;
Static analyzer: Breaking change in type alias TrustedDeviceError: Type changed: !Error:interface&{code:import("@clerk/expo").TrustedDeviceErrorCode;} → import("@clerk/expo").BiometricCredentialError
🤖 AI review (reclassified as non-breaking) (97%): BiometricCredentialError resolves to Error & { code: BiometricCredentialErrorCode; }, which is structurally identical to the previous TrustedDeviceError definition since BiometricCredentialErrorCode equals the old TrustedDeviceErrorCode.

🤖 AI review (reclassified as non-breaking) (97%): BiometricCredentialErrorCode is a union with the same members as the previous inline TrustedDeviceErrorCode union (both include an absorbing string & {} arm), so the assignable set is identical and no consumer code is affected.
Modified: TrustedDevicePlatform
- export type TrustedDevicePlatform = 'ios' | 'android' | 'unknown';+ export type TrustedDevicePlatform = BiometricCredentialPlatform;
Static analyzer: Breaking change in type alias TrustedDevicePlatform: Type changed: 'android'|'ios'|'unknown' → import("@clerk/expo").BiometricCredentialPlatform

📝 Walkthrough
Walkthrough
The Expo package adds biometric credential types, errors, exports, platform fallbacks, and the useBiometricCredentials hook. Android and iOS bridges now use biometric credential operations. Trusted-device APIs remain available through deprecated aliases and compatibility adapters. Tests cover native operations, synchronization, sign-in state, errors, and unsupported platforms. Documentation and release metadata use the new terminology.
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes
Merge Risk:⚪ Minimal · up to a2b47
This PR renames the Expo biometric credentials API while retaining deprecated trusted-device aliases for compatibility; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.

51-55: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win
Document the trusted-device deprecation and the migration path.
This section now uses biometric-credential terminology only. Existing users of useTrustedDevices() get no migration pointer here. Add one line that states the trusted-device exports are deprecated aliases and that deviceName maps to name.
📝 Proposed addition
 Biometric credential operations preserve Clerk API and native biometric error codes. Use `isBiometricCredentialError(error)` to safely inspect `error.code`; unrecognized error codes remain available for forward compatibility, while unfamiliar platform and status values are normalized to `unknown`.
++`useTrustedDevices()` and the trusted-device types remain available as deprecated aliases. Replace them with `useBiometricCredentials()` and the biometric credential types. When you enroll, use `name` instead of `deviceName`.

As per coding guidelines: "Deprecate features properly with migration paths".

Call the unsupported-platform hook through renderHook. The direct calls trigger the repository’s react-hooks/rules-of-hooks warning because the alias follows the hook naming convention. Use renderBiometricCredentials for the availability and enrollment tests, and use renderHook with rerender for the identity test.

Add coverage for the throwable overload of biometricCredentialBridgeError.
The suite tests only the ClerkResult.Failure overload. ClerkExpoModule.kt lines 113-123 define a second overload that takes a Throwable. Every rejectBiometricCredentialException call site uses that overload, so it covers the catch block of all five bridge operations. Two branches stay untested:
  • A BiometricCredentialKeyManagerException maps to its normalized code.
  • A plain exception falls back to fallbackCode and, when message is null, to fallbackMessage.
Add tests for both branches.

Description
Renames the @clerk/expo biometric authentication API around biometric credentials, introducing useBiometricCredentials() and the corresponding BiometricCredential types.
The existing useTrustedDevices() API and trusted-device types remain available as deprecated compatibility aliases. Calling the deprecated hook displays a one-time development warning, and its existing deviceName enrollment option is translated to the new name option.
This is a backwards-compatible minor release. Existing Expo applications can continue using the trusted-device API until it is removed in a future major version.
Tested with the Expo test suite, package and declaration builds, formatting, and linting.

Static analyzer: Breaking change in type alias GetTrustedDeviceAvailabilityParams: Type changed: {id?:string;identifierHint?:string;} → import("@clerk/expo").GetBiometricCredentialAvailabilityParams
🤖 AI review (reclassified as non-breaking) (97%): GetBiometricCredentialAvailabilityParams resolves to { id?: string; identifierHint?: string; } which is structurally identical to the previous inline definition of GetTrustedDeviceAvailabilityParams, so no consumer code is affected.
Modified: SignInWithTrustedDeviceParams
- export type SignInWithTrustedDeviceParams = {- id?: string;- identifierHint?: string;- reason?: string;- };+ export type SignInWithTrustedDeviceParams = SignInWithBiometricsParams;
Static analyzer: Breaking change in type alias SignInWithTrustedDeviceParams: Type changed: {id?:string;identifierHint?:string;reason?:string;} → import("@clerk/expo").SignInWithBiometricsParams
🤖 AI review (reclassified as non-breaking) (97%): SignInWithBiometricsParams resolves to { id?: string; identifierHint?: string; reason?: string; } which is structurally identical to the previous inline definition of SignInWithTrustedDeviceParams, so no consumer code is affected.

📝 Walkthrough
Walkthrough
The Expo package adds biometric credential types, errors, exports, platform fallbacks, and the useBiometricCredentials hook. Android and iOS bridges now use biometric credential operations. Trusted-device APIs remain available through deprecated aliases and compatibility adapters. Tests cover native operations, synchronization, sign-in state, errors, and unsupported platforms. Documentation and release metadata use the new terminology.
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes
Merge Risk:⚪ Minimal · up to a2b47
This PR renames the Expo biometric credentials API while retaining deprecated trusted-device aliases for compatibility; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.

packages/expo/README.md (1)
51-55: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win
Document the trusted-device deprecation and the migration path.
This section now uses biometric-credential terminology only. Existing users of useTrustedDevices() get no migration pointer here. Add one line that states the trusted-device exports are deprecated aliases and that deviceName maps to name.
📝 Proposed addition
 Biometric credential operations preserve Clerk API and native biometric error codes. Use `isBiometricCredentialError(error)` to safely inspect `error.code`; unrecognized error codes remain available for forward compatibility, while unfamiliar platform and status values are normalized to `unknown`.
++`useTrustedDevices()` and the trusted-device types remain available as deprecated aliases. Replace them with `useBiometricCredentials()` and the biometric credential types. When you enroll, use `name` instead of `deviceName`.

As per coding guidelines: "Deprecate features properly with migration paths".

Call the unsupported-platform hook through renderHook. The direct calls trigger the repository’s react-hooks/rules-of-hooks warning because the alias follows the hook naming convention. Use renderBiometricCredentials for the availability and enrollment tests, and use renderHook with rerender for the identity test.

102-141: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win
Add coverage for the throwable overload of biometricCredentialBridgeError.
The suite tests only the ClerkResult.Failure overload. ClerkExpoModule.kt lines 113-123 define a second overload that takes a Throwable. Every rejectBiometricCredentialException call site uses that overload, so it covers the catch block of all five bridge operations. Two branches stay untested:
  • A BiometricCredentialKeyManagerException maps to its normalized code.
  • A plain exception falls back to fallbackCode and, when message is null, to fallbackMessage.
Add tests for both branches.
As per coding guidelines: "Verify proper error handling and edge cases".

- Around line 572-590: Update getBiometricCredentialAvailability to check Clerk
initialization before calling Clerk.biometricCredentials.availability; when the
environment is unavailable, resolve the promise with isAvailable false and
unavailableReason environment_unavailable, matching the iOS behavior, and
otherwise preserve the existing SDK call and exception handling.

parameters, asserting the biometricCredentials.enroll mock is called with
undefined and that the promise result is forwarded correctly. Anchor the new
case near the existing enrollment tests and preserve current parameterized
enrollment coverage.
