Is this package abandoned? #97

Hey! I'm working on a flutter app where biometric-gated encrypted storage is crucial. This package sounds like a perfect fit by covering Keychain on iOS and KeyStore on Android, plus setting authentication requirements on stored items.

I'd appreciate very much being able to use it in the project I'm concerned about the current status of the package, though.

Significant security-related changes for iOS are currently not released. They are available only on the main branch (I mean providing fresh LAContext into every read on iOS and setting flags appropriate for invalidating the content automatically upon biometry configuration changes).

Developments towards optimising the iOS and macOS behaviour seem stuck, going through #68, #73 and #77 with additional discussion about the changes in #73 tracked in #74.

Please, let us know the current plan for the package and its further development. Thanks! 🙌🏻

I emailed the publisher of the package and he says that it is not abandoned as they are still using it in the authpass app
