Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds generated package outputs for passkey support, WebAuthn JSON types, browser credential handling, and configurable iOS authentication policies. It also removes build/ from .gitignore.

Changes

Passkey platform support

Layer / File(s) Summary
Public contracts and generated declarations
.gitignore, build/ReactNativePasskeys.types.d.ts, build/ReactNativePasskeys.types.js, build/index.d.ts
The package adds WebAuthn JSON, extension, credential response, capability, and biometric configuration types. The build/ directory is no longer ignored.
Platform routing and iOS authentication
src/index.ts, src/ReactNativePasskeysModule.ts, ios/ReactNativePasskeysModule.swift, build/index.js, build/ReactNativePasskeysModule.*, build/errors.*
The public API forwards requireBiometrics. The iOS module selects biometric-only or device-owner authentication policies. Native module wrappers and passkey error classes are generated.
Browser WebAuthn conversion and extension handling
src/ReactNativePasskeysModule.web.ts, src/utils/warn-user-of-missing-webauthn-extensions.ts, build/ReactNativePasskeysModule.web.*, build/utils/*
The web module converts Base64URL values, handles WebAuthn creation and authentication, normalizes PRF inputs, maps extension results, and alerts for missing extensions.

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

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 0279c

Passkey operations can currently throw on valid cancellation and unsupported-browser paths, iOS autofill is broken, valid PRF output is lost, and the default iOS authentication policy is weaker than documented. These issues should be fixed before merge.

Expose isAutoFillAvalilable() as Promise<boolean>

The web implementation returns the promise from window.PublicKeyCredential.isConditionalMediationAvailable(), but the package entrypoint declares boolean. A TypeScript consumer can use synchronous branching and treat the Promise as truthy, even when it resolves to false. Make the public wrapper async and regenerate build/index.d.ts so all platforms use the same contract.

Rename isAutoFillAvalilable to isAutoFillAvailable in the source.

The iOS module exports only isAutoFillAvailable, so the current public wrapper calls an undefined property and throws. Rename the wrapper and web implementation, then regenerate the build outputs.

Check for a null credential before destructuring extension results.

navigator.credentials.create() and navigator.credentials.get() can resolve to null. Optional chaining then sets extensions to undefined, so destructuring it throws a TypeError before either method returns null.

Move the credential null check before destructuring at both sites: build/ReactNativePasskeysModule.web.js:38 and build/ReactNativePasskeysModule.web.js:112.

WebAuthn Level 3 AuthenticationExtensionsPRFOutputs enabled results optional registration create

💡 Result:

In the WebAuthn Level 3 specification, the prf extension is used to signal the intent to use Pseudo-Random Function capabilities [1][2]. To enable this during a registration ceremony (navigator.credentials.create), the Relying Party (RP) includes the prf extension in the extensions input, typically as an empty object (extensions: { prf: {} }) [1][2]. After the creation ceremony, the RP retrieves the results using getClientExtensionResults [1][3][4]. The output for the prf extension is defined by the AuthenticationExtensionsPRFOutputs dictionary, which contains the following members [5][6]: enabled (boolean): This indicates whether the PRF capability was successfully enabled for the newly created credential [1][5][7]. It is set to true if the authenticator supports the PRF and has associated the necessary internal key with the credential; otherwise, it is false [1][5][7]. results (AuthenticationExtensionsPRFResults): This member holds the results of evaluating the PRF for any inputs provided during the operation [5][7][6]. Note that while outputs can be requested, they may not always be available or returned during the registration ceremony depending on the specific inputs and authenticator capabilities [5][7]. The PRF extension is optional for the authenticator; if an authenticator does not support it, the registration will still succeed, but the enabled flag in the extension results will be false [1][7]. Consequently, RPs are advised to check this enabled property immediately after the create call to determine if the credential is suitable for future PRF-dependent operations [1][7].

Citations:


Preserve registration PRF capability output.

During registration, WebAuthn can return prf.enabled without prf.results. The condition at build/ReactNativePasskeysModule.web.js:64 omits this valid output. Serialize enabled independently, and make results optional in AuthenticationExtensionsClientOutputs.prf.

Guard get() with isSupported() before calling navigator.credentials.get.

When WebAuthn is unsupported and navigator.credentials.get is unavailable, this public path can reject with a JavaScript TypeError instead of the module’s NotSupportedError. Match create().

Preserve the documented biometric default.

PasskeysConfig documents requireBiometrics as true, but both create and get pass false when the option is omitted. This enables device-passcode authentication on iOS. Use ?? true at both entry points and regenerate build/index.js.
