Appwrite React Native

Auth Pattern

• Use Account.create, createEmailPasswordSession, get, deleteSession.
• Rehydrate signed-in user on app launch.
• Build explicit handling for expired or revoked sessions.

Data Pattern

• Use user-scoped client operations for personal data.
• Route privileged writes through backend or Functions.
• Keep business-critical authorization checks on trusted server boundaries.

Security Guardrails

• Never embed API keys in mobile apps.
• Keep sensitive state out of logs and crash reports.
• Validate tenant/user ownership server-side for updates and deletes.
• Apply tight row permissions and avoid global write grants.

Common Pitfalls

• Platform misconfiguration causing unauthorized SDK requests.
• Session state inconsistencies during cold start.
• Permission gaps between table and row level rules.
• Assuming mobile client checks are sufficient for authorization.
