What & why

Adds Google Play restore-credential creation, sign-in, cloud-backup fallback, and sign-out cleanup for MOBILE-632.

What to focus on

Currently reuses passkey endpoints; backend compatibility with silent restore and real-device backup/restore testing remain unresolved.

Screenshots / video

N/A — API-only change.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added Google Play restore credential support for creating, restoring, and clearing credentials.
    • Added silent sign-in using transferred restore credentials.
    • Added optional encrypted cloud backup, with fallback when unavailable.
    • Restore credentials are cleared during sign-out, including when server sign-out fails.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Added validation and error handling for unsupported devices, invalid credentials, unavailable restore states, and signed-in or signed-out state requirements.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds Google Play restore-credential creation, silent sign-in, clearing, public API access, and sign-out cleanup. It adds Credential Manager integration and tests. It also updates an Android-backed UI test setup.

Changes

Restore credentials

Layer / File(s) Summary
Credential Manager and restore flow
source/api/src/main/kotlin/com/clerk/api/restorecredentials/*, source/api/src/test/java/com/clerk/api/restorecredentials/*
Adds restore-credential creation, silent sign-in, clearing, API-level checks, cloud-backup fallback, passkey verification, failure classification, and tests.
Public restore-credential APIs
source/api/src/main/kotlin/com/clerk/api/Clerk.kt, source/api/src/main/kotlin/com/clerk/api/auth/Auth.kt, source/api/src/main/kotlin/com/clerk/api/user/User.kt, source/api/src/test/java/com/clerk/api/auth/AuthTest.kt
Exposes Clerk.restoreCredentials, Auth.signInWithRestoreCredential(), and User.createRestoreCredential(). Tests verify delegated sign-in.
Session cleanup integration
source/api/src/main/kotlin/com/clerk/api/signout/SignOutService.kt, source/api/src/test/java/com/clerk/api/signout/SignOutServiceTest.kt, source/api/src/test/java/com/clerk/api/auth/AuthTest.kt
Clears restore credentials during session cleanup. Tests verify cleanup after local session removal and when server sign-out fails.
Android-backed UI test setup
source/ui/src/test/java/com/clerk/ui/userprofile/security/UserProfileSecurityViewTest.kt
Uses an Android Compose test rule, initializes the biometric credential ViewModel on the main dispatcher, and closes the activity scenario during teardown.

A restore credential request made from stale user state can affect the currently active account instead. Bind the operation to the receiver before merging or explicitly accept this bounded API correctness risk.

Clear the pending restore sign-in when first-factor verification fails.

ClientSyncingMiddleware does not synchronize failed HTTP responses. Therefore, a failed SignIn.attemptFirstFactor call can leave the matching Clerk.client.signIn from sign-in creation in place. Clear it before returning the failure so normal sign-in fallback does not see stale restore state.

Suggested change
signIn.attemptFirstFactor(
SignIn.AttemptFirstFactorParams.Passkey(credential.authenticationResponseJson)
)
}
signIn.attemptFirstFactor(
SignIn.AttemptFirstFactorParams.Passkey(credential.authenticationResponseJson)
).also { result ->
if (result is ClerkResult.Failure) {
clearSignInAttempt(signIn)
}
}

Bind restore credential creation to the User receiver.

User.createRestoreCredential ignores this and delegates to RestoreCredentials.create, which uses the globally active Clerk.user and session. If a caller invokes it on a stale User, the credential can be created for the active user while the result is returned for the receiver.

Validate that this.id matches the active user before delegating. Do not rely on a session change during the suspended flow to determine the identity.
