SecureStorage and Preference between Class and App

Question

Hi,

I have a MAUI Class Library where I set a SecureStorage value:

SecureStorage.SetAsync("TempStorage", "My Name is Jassim");

but when I try to read it in my MAUI App:

DisplayAlert("TempStorage", SecureStorage.GetAsync("TempStorage").Result, "Ok");

It does not show any value..

Is it because of a different namespace? How to solve it?

Kindly advise..
Jassim

Answer

Hello,

Is it because of a different namespace?

Yes, due to different namespaces, MAUI will create different filename of [YOUR-APP-PACKAGE-ID].xamarinessentials. files(Encryption keys are stored in KeyStore and encrypted data is stored in a named shared preference container).

How to solve it?

You can create 1[web service] to store these information. Please see this document: Consume a REST-based web service - .NET MAUI | Microsoft Learn
