What changed (docs only)

README.md

  • iOS deployment-target floor corrected 14.0 → 15.1 (min_ios_version_supported under RN 0.82+). Following the old 14.0 value fails pod install.
  • Android build floors added: minSdkVersion 26 (Android 8.0), compileSdkVersion 36, JDK 17.
  • Expo requirement made consistently SDK 55 for v6 (removed the stale 53-vs-55 inconsistency).
  • New iOS framework linkage section documenting use_frameworks! support.

MIGRATION_GUIDE.md (§9)

  • Added the opt-in ID-token claim-validation state on direct token requests, per flow: passkey signin validates on both platforms; passkey signup, Custom Token Exchange, MFA, and passwordless validate on neither (deliberate iOS/Android parity).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Clarified when native and web authentication flows validate ID-token claims, including required validation responsibilities for native apps.
    • Updated SDK v6 platform requirements for React Native, Expo, iOS, Android, and JDK.
    • Added iOS CocoaPods framework-linkage and clean installation guidance.
    • Expanded Android web-authentication guidance, including browser fallback, TWA precedence, and ephemeral sessions.
    • Clarified error-property usage in the error taxonomy.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 38559

This documentation-only change does not alter product runtime behavior, but it still contains contradictory fallback guidance and a markdownlint violation that could mislead adopters or fail documentation checks. It is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up on those items.

In `@MIGRATION_GUIDE.md`:
- Around line 238-252: Correct the passkey signup entry in the ID-token claim
validation table and surrounding parity text to reflect that Android validates
every response from signinWithPasskey(...).validateClaims(), while iOS does not
validate attestation responses in getTokenByPasskey(). Remove the claim that
passkey signup has identical behavior across platforms and revise the “No action
is required” conclusion accordingly.

In `@README.md`:
- Around line 76-80: Update EXAMPLES.md with guidance matching the README’s iOS
framework linkage section, documenting supported default static-library and
use_frameworks! dynamic-linkage configurations and their Podfile requirements.
- Around line 90-93: Update the clean-install instructions in the README diff to
remove only the Pods directory before running pod install --repo-update;
preserve Podfile.lock so unrelated dependencies are not re-resolved during
linkage-only changes.

…ld floors

Covers the consumer-facing docs carved out of SDK-10039/SDK-10040 (SDK-10615):

- README: correct iOS floor to 15.1 (min_ios_version_supported), state
  Android minSdk 26 / compileSdk 36 / JDK 17, and make the Expo requirement
  consistently SDK 55 for v6.
- README: add iOS use_frameworks! linkage guidance. Verified by building the
  example app under both USE_FRAMEWORKS=static and =dynamic (pod install + iOS
  simulator build succeeded in each).
- MIGRATION_GUIDE §9: document the opt-in ID-token claim validation state on
  direct token requests, with per-flow accuracy (passkey signin validates on
  both platforms; passkey signup, Custom Token Exchange, MFA, passwordless
  validate on neither — deliberate iOS/Android parity).

202-204: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Qualify the SSO statement by browser support.

Line 202 says unsupported browsers fall back to a regular Custom Tab. Line 193 states that ephemeralSession: true disables SSO and prompts on every authorize() call without a condition. The fallback is non-ephemeral, so that outcome is not guaranteed. Limit the earlier statement to browsers that support ephemeral browsing.

In `@MIGRATION_GUIDE.md` around lines 202 - 204, The documentation statement about
ephemeralSession disabling SSO should be qualified by browser support: update
the relevant Android authentication guidance so repeated prompts on every

browsing, while unsupported-browser fallback to a regular non-ephemeral Custom
Tab retains SSO.

2876-2876: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Keep the blank line inside the blockquote.

At Line 2876, the blank line separates two adjacent blockquotes. markdownlint rule MD028 reports this pattern. Prefix the blank line with > or remove it.

Suggested fix
 > **Platform Support:** iOS and Android. This option is ignored on web.

+>
 > **Warning:** On Android, ephemeral browsing is supported on both [Auth Tab](`#trusted-web-activity-android`) and a plain Custom Tab, as long as the browser supports ephemeral browsing (Chrome 136+). A Trusted Web Activity does not support it, so when `useTrustedWebActivity: true` is set the session will not be ephemeral.

- Line 271: Update the migration guide statement for native Custom Token
Exchange, MFA, Passwordless, and iOS passkey signup to explain that the returned
ID token is not fully claim-validated. Instruct applications to independently
validate these tokens before using them for identity or authorization decisions,
while retaining the distinction that Auth0User.fromIdToken only decodes the
token and checks sub.
