fix: restore Direct Sharing persistence on Mac Catalyst#377
Conversation
PR #341 moved ServerPassword, RemoteToken, and LanToken to SecureStorage (Keychain) on Mac Catalyst via [JsonIgnore] and #if IOS || ANDROID || MACCATALYST guards. However, Mac Catalyst runs without app sandbox (disabled in Entitlements.plist), making Keychain unreliable. The password was silently lost on restart, so StartDirectSharingIfEnabled() would skip due to empty password. Fix: - Change SecureStorage guards from IOS || ANDROID || MACCATALYST to IOS || ANDROID only — Mac Catalyst is a desktop platform - Add one-time RecoverSecretsFromSecureStorage() for MACCATALYST to recover any passwords already migrated to Keychain by PR 341 - Only clean up Keychain entries after verifying JSON was written - Add 4 regression tests for secret serialization on desktop Verified via MauiDevFlow: enabled Direct Sharing, relaunched app, confirmed bridge auto-started with 'Stop Direct Sharing' visible.

…failure Addresses PR review finding #1 (critical): if ReadSecureStorage fails transiently for one secret but succeeds for another, the blanket SecureStorage.Remove() would destroy the unrecovered secret. Now each Keychain entry is only removed if that specific value was successfully recovered. Also removes the no-op verify.Contains() guard (finding #2) since per-key tracking makes it unnecessary.

New Findings (consensus 2+ models)
| Sev | File:Line | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 🟡 | ConnectionSettings.cs:316 |
File.Exists(SettingsPath) is a weak save-success proxy. Save() swallows all exceptions. If Save() fails but a prior settings file exists, File.Exists returns true and Keychain entries are deleted without persisting recovered values. Narrow edge case (requires disk failure + pre-existing file). Fix: have Save() return bool, or re-read file to confirm secrets present. |
| 🟢 | ConnectionSettings.cs:327 |
Outer catch { } silently swallows all failures -- no log or diagnostic trace for migration failures. |
| 🟢 | ConnectionSettings.cs:332 |
Sync-over-async blocks main thread 3× per Load() -- not a deadlock but causes UI jank during one-time migration. |
Verdict: ✅ Approve (with tracked follow-ups)
The CRITICAL data-loss bug is properly fixed with a clean per-key recovery+cleanup design. The remaining File.Exists weakness is a narrow edge case. The Task.Run pattern is pre-existing and used identically in iOS/Android. Ship-worthy -- both MODERATEs can be tracked follow-ups.

Problem
PR #341 moved
ServerPassword,RemoteToken, andLanTokento SecureStorage (Keychain) on Mac Catalyst via[JsonIgnore]and#if IOS || ANDROID || MACCATALYSTguards. However, Mac Catalyst runs without app sandbox (disabled inEntitlements.plist), making Keychain unreliable. The password was silently dropped fromsettings.jsonon save, and never reliably recovered from Keychain on load, soStartDirectSharingIfEnabled()would skip due to empty password.Result: Direct Sharing was always disabled after every restart despite being enabled by the user.
Fix
Changed SecureStorage guards from
#if IOS || ANDROID || MACCATALYST→#if IOS || ANDROIDfor property definitions,Save(), andLoad()— Mac Catalyst is a desktop platform and should use plain JSON like Windows.Added one-time reverse migration (
RecoverSecretsFromSecureStorage) forMACCATALYSTto recover any passwords already migrated to Keychain by PR Improve bridge startup reliability and token validation #341. Only cleans up Keychain entries after verifying JSON was successfully written (addresses code review finding about data loss ifSave()fails).Added 4 regression tests validating that secret fields serialize to JSON on desktop platforms.
