Connecting with Master Secret

We are building two apps, one is using JavaScript and the other using Swift. On JavaScript we're able to connect with the master secret but on the ios side we can't figure how to do this.


Our problem is that entities uploaded to the database on the desktop side can't be edited on the ios app.

Best Answer

Coleten,


The master secret has read and write access to all data, and can modify any permissions setting at any level. Entity creators have no mechanism to take that access away. (A reminder, never embed the master secret in the app).


We do not support using the master secret within an app to connect to the backend database. On some platforms, its use may not be prevented or blocked from being used but it is certainly not recommended and we discourage its use.


Thanks,

Pranav
