Recommended method to save state

[seanieb]

Is the current best practice to save session state, key state, etc. to just serialize it or blob it, and store it in something like a SQLCipher database? I assume anything else would be far too brittle? Or am I missing something?

That's what all of Signal's client apps do, yes, at least for session state. It's not totally out of the question to try to store state field-by-field, but you could run into trouble if we ever needed to add something to the format.
