How to do session management in the react-native sdk?
I couldn’t find any docs or example apps highlighting the same. Could you please help me with this?
@abhishek The idea behind session management is to use a session id which encrypts your private key. This session id can be stored easily in the local storage and have some timeout set in the backend. Encrypted private key sits in the backend.
also, here it is mentioned that " EncryptedStorage implementation to allow for session management without storing the private key on the device."
but what you just said seems to contradict this point @vjgee
My apologies! The explanation was for Tkey React Native.
We have a new version of the react native SDK, where there will be session management support. This means that the key reconstruction will not be needed for a maximum of 7 days after the login has happened.
I will check with our Dev team and get back to you.
@abhishek I’ll paste the link for the SDK reference here. The 7th parameter from top is sessionTime in SdkInitParams which will be useful for you. Try switching between the table and the type reference for better understanding.

You’ll find sessionTime with our PnP and Corekit-SFA SDKs.
