iOS & android keychain items are not erased when the app is uninstalled

Hi there, You mean iOS only, right? It is a feature and there are many dev wanted it to support Android.

Btw, to fix that issue, you can use other packages like https://github.com/react-native-async-storage/async-storage since its storage data will be removed when App is uninstall so you just need to save a flag value and use that to remove keychain value, EX:

const isAppInitialled = await AsyncStorage.getItem('isAppInitialled'); //Should be empty when App is first Install

if (!isAppInitialled) {
    //Delete Keychain data 
    Keychain.resetGenericPassword(...);
}


await AsyncStorage.setItem('isAppInitialled', 'true');
