A better experience for your Expo apps.

We're excited to announce experimental offline support for Clerk's Expo SDK. This update significantly improves how Expo applications using Clerk handle network connectivity issues.

Key Features

  • Initialization of the Clerk SDK is now more resilient to network failures.
  • Faster resolution of the isLoaded property and the <ClerkLoaded> control component.
  • Network errors are no longer muted, allowing developers to catch and handle them effectively in their custom flows.
  • The getToken() function in the useAuth() hook now supports returning cached tokens, minimizing disruptions caused by network failures.

How to use
