React Native Security
Priority: P0 (CRITICAL)
Secure Storage
- Keychain/Keystore: Use
react-native-keychainfor tokens, passwords. - Never AsyncStorage: Not encrypted. Only for non-sensitive data.
- Biometric Auth: Use
react-native-biometricsfor Face ID/Touch ID.
Deep Linking
- Validate URLs: Check scheme and host before navigation.
- Sanitize Params: Never trust URL params. Validate and sanitize.
- Token Extraction: Avoid passing tokens in deep link URLs. Use secure code exchange.
Network Security
- HTTPS Only: Enforce via
NSAppTransportSecurity(iOS) andnetwork_security_config.xml(Android). - Certificate Pinning: Use
react-native-ssl-pinningfor high-security apps (banking, healthcare). Warning: Requires app update when certificates rotate. - No Secrets in Code: Use
.envfiles withreact-native-config. Add to.gitignore.
Code Obfuscation
- Hermes: Bytecode harder to reverse-engineer.
- ProGuard/R8: Enable on Android.
- Note: Obfuscation is a deterrent, not protection. Move sensitive logic to backend.
Data Handling
- PII Masking: Mask email/phone in logs and analytics.
- Clipboard: Clear sensitive data after paste.
- Screenshots: Block on sensitive screens with
react-native-screen-guard.
Anti-Patterns
- No Hardcoded Secrets: Use environment variables.
- No Sensitive Logs: Strip
console.login production. - No Plain HTTP: Always use HTTPS.
- No Client-Side Auth: Validate on backend.
