[Question] Migrating to an encypted instance about react-native-mmkv-storage HOT 3 CLOSED

The docs website has a page on how to go about this.

from react-native-mmkv-storage.

To answer this question for anyone else that comes upon it:

If an MMKV instance has been previously created, then adding withEncryption to the initializer will have no effect. To migrate a pre-existing instance to be encrypted it should be done via .encryption.encrypt() one instantialized.

To verify you can inspect the files MMKV stores:
iOS: Data/Application/<application>/Library/mmkv
Android: /data/data/<com.myapp>/files/mmkv/

from react-native-mmkv-storage.

I may submit a PR to clarify the docs as it is, imo, not clear that initialization options may not have any impact in this regard
