Clerk separates native session lifetimes

Clerk now lets developers configure native app sessions separately from web sessions, with maximum lifetimes ranging from 5 minutes to 10 years. The update targets iOS, Android, Expo, Electron, and production Chrome extensions while preserving short-lived session tokens. [Clerk changelog](https://clerk.com/Changelog)

// ANALYSIS

This is a practical quality-of-life fix for teams balancing web security with mobile retention.

  • –Native apps can avoid weekly sign-outs while web sessions retain stricter limits.
  • –SDKs continue refreshing short-lived tokens, so longer sessions do not mean long-lived bearer tokens.
  • –The setting affects only newly created sessions; existing sessions must be revoked separately.
  • –Production use requires Clerk’s Pro or Business plan, making persistent mobile auth a paid capability. [Session options](https://clerk.com/docs/guides/secure/session-options)
