Using @kinde-oss/kinde-auth-nextjs in an Expo/React Native context failed with Can't resolve 'expo-secure-store'. The SDK pulled in the Expo secure storage module unconditionally, so bundlers without Expo could not resolve it. The import chain broke the build even though the app never used Expo features directly.

Fixed in @kinde-oss/kinde-auth-nextjs 2.8.1; upgrade to 2.8.1 or newer. A maintainer confirmed the fix and a reporter verified it works. The fix removed the unconditional import so non-Expo bundlers no longer try to resolve the Expo module. Source: https://github.com/kinde-oss/kinde-auth-nextjs/issues/347
