getGenericPassword on Android sometimes fails and crashes app

Open jm90m opened this issue 3 years ago • 9 comments

getGenericPassword on android sometimes fails. I can't figure out why, it just crashes the app.

jm90m avatar Jan 20 '22 22:01 jm90m

in my android it does not do anything code stopes on "await Keychain.getGenericPassword" and thats it

@jm90m @kriit24 Could you folks please share more info on your environments? Android version, Keychain options that you pass to the getGenericPassword would help investigating the issue.

@jm90m @kriit24 Did you manage to find a fix for this?

Getting a similar experience as well but can't seem to figure out what exactly is causing it or how to reproduce.

Only hacky workaround that I could find is if I run async code before calling getGenericPassword() that forces a state update + some delay. Otherwise app freezes until I eventually get an "App isn't responding" alert.

Example:

setLoading(true);
await delay(500);

const credentials = await Keychain.getGenericPassword();
setLoading(false);

For more context:

  • Android version 12
  • react-native-keychain version 8.1.1
  • Not passing any options to getGenericPassword

Lmk if there's any other information I can give to debug this.

I've dug deeper into this issue and have been able to consistently reproduce it.

TLDR: It seems to occur when biometrics is triggered in the middle of unfinished UI navigation or rendering; which blocks the main thread and makes the app unresponsive and eventually it crashes.

Reproduction steps:

In an Android device try these:

  1. Invoke Keychain.getGenericPassword
  2. Without awaiting the promise, close the current screen and immediately navigate to a new screen that takes some time to render i.e. contains some UI operation.
  3. When the Biometrics prompt shows up, you'll notice in the overlay that the ongoing rendering in the background is already frozen.
  4. Either fail or pass the Biometrics. Both will crash the app.

Why?

Looking through the android device logs, I've seen this occur only in cases where biometrics is triggered in the middle of navigation/rendering or when a UI operation is in-progress but not complete, and then the biometrics prompt is presented just in time.

When the prompt is presented, the underlying logic blocks the main activity thread while waiting to capture user’s biometrics and this freezes the main thread in the middle of ongoing UI operation which leads to it being unresponsive even after user’s biometrics input is done.

And once it is frozen, regardless of the result – success or failure – the app always crashes.

Additionally, it is also susceptible to race conditions which makes it harder to reproduce. This means if the main thread UI operation completes quickly enough before the thread is frozen, it would work but otherwise, it always crashes.

You can see in that there are 2 main differences in the above logs:

  1. In both cases, onAuthenticationSucceeded handler was triggered. But in the second case, you cannot see the thread being unblocked after that. The entry unblocking thread. is seen only in the first case.
  2. In the second case you can see a UI rendering started right after the getGenericPassword call from this line ReactContext: initializeMessageQueueThreads() is called. This is the cause of this unresponsiveness as the main thread didn't get chance to complete it before it was blocked.

Same problem occurs in our app on Android. No particular version - seems to occur on any device.

We reproduce it like so:

import Keychain from 'react-native-keychain';

async function getBiometryPassword() {
   console.log(1);

   /*
   // Optionally, we can block the thread for a couple of seconds,
   // just to not have to be quick with minimizing the app.

   const start = Date.now();
   while (Date.now() < start + 2000) {}
   console.log(2);
   */
    
   const value = await Keychain.getGenericPassword({
      service: 'our-bio-password-key',
      accessible: Keychain.ACCESSIBLE.WHEN_PASSCODE_SET_THIS_DEVICE_ONLY,
      securityLevel: Keychain.SECURITY_LEVEL.SECURE_HARDWARE,
      accessControl: Keychain.ACCESS_CONTROL.BIOMETRY_CURRENT_SET,
      authenticationType: Keychain.AUTHENTICATION_TYPE.BIOMETRICS
   }).catch(error => {
      console.log(3);
      throw error;
   });
   
   console.log(4);
   
   return value;
}

If you start the app, call getBiometryPassword and immediately minimize the app (gotta be quick), then open back, you get only 1 & 2(optionally) printed to the console, and the app is frozen.

Also, we don't get app state change event fired (handleAppStateChange called) in this case.

import { AppState } from 'react-native';

AppState.addEventListener('change', handleAppStateChange);

I'm having the same issue. As soon as I call getGenericPassword the app freezes and a few seconds later "App not responding" pop-up shows up! This is a serious issue guys!

@BraveEvidence Thanks, I'll take a look at it for sure but the thing is I had to prepare a release for pen-testing so wouldn't have time to deal with this stuff :/ thanks to @hazim-j the solution he found worked for me!

@tsdmrfth what was the fix ?

This is happening for me as well - dev and prod - unsure of what the conditions are, but it typically seems to hang most if called relatively quickly after an app background -> foreground . Killing the app and restarting always fixes the issue.
