Description

On iOS, create() only forwarded the challenge, RP ID, user ID, and display name to the native module, so the excludeCredentials list Clerk sends was dropped. A user could register a second passkey for an account that already had one on the device, where Android and web return passkey_already_exists.

The iOS module now receives the excluded credential IDs and sets them on the registration request (iOS 17.4+). The native error handler also forwards the real ASAuthorizationError code instead of collapsing everything except cancel to unknown, and the new matched-excluded-credential code maps to passkey_already_exists.

Before (notice how many times I can create a passkey for the same account)

Screen.Recording.2026-09-24.at.9.55.28.AM.mov

After (second attempt is rejected with passkey_already_exists, count stays at 1)

passkey_fixed.mov

Resolves MOBILE-639

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The iOS passkey registration path now accepts excluded credential IDs and uses valid decoded IDs as registration exclusions on iOS 17.4 or later. The iOS authorization error handling preserves non-cancellation error codes and recognizes matched excluded credentials on iOS 18 or later. The JavaScript error mapper maps native error code 1006 to passkey_already_exists. A patch changeset records the update.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 3b572

A narrow class of valid typed-array credential IDs may still bypass iOS duplicate prevention. The issue is bounded, but should be fixed or explicitly accepted before relying on the change for those inputs.
