Add an `enableRestoreCredentials` prop to `AuthView` that turns on [Restore Credentials](https://developer.android.com/identity/sign-in/restore-credentials) on Android, so users stay signed in when they move to a new device. It is off by default and ignored on iOS. When it is on, on the first launch after the app is installed or restored onto a device, a signed-out `AuthView` silently signs the user in with the restore credential transferred from their old device. Later launches don't try again. After a sign-in or sign-up, it creates a restore credential for the signed-in user in the background, replacing the one this device created for that user before; a device holds one restore credential, for the user who most recently signed in. Passkeys must be enabled as a first factor for your Clerk instance. On Android, when a signed-in session on the device ends, including a sign-out from JavaScript, the device's restore credential is deleted.

Add the prop to the public Expo reference.

The repository PR checklist requires applicable documentation updates. enableRestoreCredentials is a new public AuthView prop, but the Expo reference does not document it. Add its Android-only behavior to clerk-docs before release.

Review comment at @.changeset/expo-android-restore-credentials.md at line 5:
Update the public Expo AuthView reference to document the
enableRestoreCredentials prop, including that it is disabled by default, applies
only on Android, and enables silent sign-in from a transferred restore
credential on the first launch after install or restore.

Minor edge case. When JS calls setDeviceToken with a token that points at a different client, clerk-android 1.3.0 runs resetClientStateForDeviceTokenChange() (ConfigurationManager.kt:425). That emits an empty Client() before the refresh. This helper reads that as every session ending, so the key is cleared even if the refreshed client has the same user signed in.

I think this is rare on mobile because JS and native normally share one client, but I haven't confirmed it. If it's expected, it might be worth a test case so the behavior is pinned down.

This fires on any loss of an active or pending session, including a session that expires or is revoked from the dashboard. In clerk-android 1.3.0, native only clears the key on an explicit sign-out (SignOutService.signOut() and Auth.signOut(sessionId)). Expiry leaves the key in place.

That difference affects the case Restore Credentials exists for. Picture a user whose session timed out and who moves to a new phone before signing back in on the old one. Their key would still have restored them on the new phone. With this watcher, opening the app once after expiry deletes the key on this device and in the cloud backup. I got this from reading the code and haven't run it on a device.

Is the broader behavior intended? If not, one option is to clear only when the ended session's status is ENDED/REMOVED (or it disappears outright) and skip EXPIRED.

Clear restore credentials before switching configurations.

Clerk.switchConfiguration calls reset(), which emits null on clientFlow without clearing restore credentials. The observer skips cleanup for null, then sets previousClient to null. The next client can no longer identify the previous signed-in session, so its restore credential can remain stored.

Await cleanup before resetting the SDK:

                         Clerk.switchConfiguration(context, pubKey, clerkConfigurationOptions(normalizedProxyUrl))
                         true

In the configuration-switch branch, clear the restore credential and ensure
cleanup completes before calling Clerk.switchConfiguration; do not rely on the
clientFlow observer to clean up after reset emits null.

Document the cleanup failure mode.

The PR objective states that failed credential clears are logged and not retried. A failed clear can leave the restore credential present, but this text states that deletion always succeeds. Document deletion as best effort, or add a retry guarantee before using unconditional wording. Update the matching changeset text if needed.

Because this sits under enableRestoreCredentials, it reads as if the clear only happens when the prop is on. The clientFlow watcher actually runs in every Android app that uses this package, whatever the prop is set to. That matches native, and clearing a key that doesn't exist does nothing, so the behavior is fine. The changeset already words it correctly. Maybe reword this to something like "On Android, the device's restore credential is deleted whenever a signed-in session ends, whether or not this prop is set."
