Production tips

• Test on physical devices. Passkey prompts and deep-link callbacks behave differently in simulators. Always validate your auth and transaction flows on real iOS and Android hardware before shipping.
• Test on both iOS and Android. Deep-link handling has platform-specific edge cases — cover both in your QA pass.
• Handle offline gracefully. Mobile devices lose connectivity frequently. Detect the network state and disable transaction requests when offline rather than letting them fail silently.
• Verify tokens server-side. Use @socketfi/server’s verifyAuth() to validate socketfiAccessToken in your API before granting access to protected resources.
• Monitor authentication and transaction failures. Pipe onError events to your crash/observability provider so you can detect regressions in the auth flow after updates.
