Password Autofill on a React Native Expo app

Developing an app to accompany our website, worried that we would lose people in the transition if they couldn't remember their password, we were looking to make our app do Password AutoFill, a feature in iOS.

A talk from WWDC introducing the feature: https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2017/206/

It works well, but there were a few bumps in the road making it work for React Native on Expo, so here are some notes to help out.

Apple's docs are here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/password_autofill and they say something like this:

Kali Linux Bootable USB with Persistence and Wireless on OSX

Tutorials for running live Kali on OSX often require you have networking on your laptop to apt install the drivers, but without an ethernet adapter you're not going to be able to do that, so this tutorial will cover a method of doing this manually, using another thumbdrive or external data source.

Download the appropriate Kali Linux .iso

• Download site: https://www.kali.org/downloads/

I used a 64 bit .iso image, downloaded via HTTP.

Introduction

This is about documenting getting Linux running on the late 2016 and mid 2017 MPB's; the focus is mostly on the MacBookPro13,3 and MacBookPro14,3 (15inch models), but I try to make it relevant and provide information for MacBookPro13,1, MacBookPro13,2, MacBookPro14,1, and MacBookPro14,2 (13inch models) too. I'm currently using Fedora 27, but most the things should be valid for other recent distros even if the details differ. The kernel version is 4.14.x (after latest update).

The state of linux on the MBP (with particular focus on MacBookPro13,2) is also being tracked on https://github.com/Dunedan/mbp-2016-linux . And for Ubuntu users there are a couple tutorials (here and here) focused on that distro and the MacBook.

Note: For those who have followed these instructions ealier, and in particular for those who have had problems with the custom DSDT, modifying the DSDT is not necessary anymore - se
