Best practice to store IdentityKeyPair, registrationId, PreKeyRecords, SignedPreKeyRecord #424

Closed ahmedcs2600 closed 2 years ago

How do we store IdentityKeyPair, registration Id, PreKeyRecords, SignedPreKeyRecord permanently in the android app. If the app is uninstalled we don't want to generate new keys. I want to know what is the best practice to store private keys how do we retain the keys after the app is reinstalled.

This kind of question is better suited to the community forums: https://community.signalusers.org/c/development/android-development/22. This library lets you store the information however you want; the Android app chooses to store it as data associated with the app for a variety of reasons.
