saveKeychain

The saveKeychain action stores sensitive information in the device’s secure keychain (iOS) or equivalent secure storage (Android), providing a high level of OS-level protection for critical data like authentication credentials, tokens, and other sensitive user information.

JavaScript Usage

You can also use this action in JavaScript:

// Store a simple string value ensemble.saveKeychain({ key: "apiKey", value: "3f8d9a72e5c6b1f0", }); // Store a complex object ensemble.saveKeychain({ key: "accountDetails", value: { accountId: "ACC123456", accessLevel: "premium", lastAccess: "2023-05-19T14:30:00Z", }, });

Notes

  • The keychain provides OS-level security for storing sensitive data.
  • On iOS, this uses the Keychain Services API.
  • On Android, this uses the Android Keystore System or equivalent secure storage.
  • Values stored in the keychain persist even when the app is uninstalled on iOS (not on Android).
  • To retrieve the value later, use the readKeychain action.
  • To remove the value, use the clearKeychain action.
  • For less sensitive data that doesn’t need OS-level security, consider using setSecureStorage instead.
