Description

Reproducible with the official Clerk Expo quickstart
(https://github.com/clerk/clerk-expo-quickstart) with no additional changes.
Steps:

1. Clone the quickstart repo
2. Set First Name & Last Name to "Optional" in Clerk Dashboard
   (User & Authentication → Personal Information)
3. Run npx expo prebuild --clean && npx expo run:android
4. Sign up → reach "Profile Details" step
5. Observe: Done button blocked until optional name fields are filled
6. Repeat on iOS → optional name fields not shown at all

Expected Behavior (matching Web)

Optional fields should be visible but not block the submit button on all platforms.

Actual Behavior

Platform	Optional fields shown	Blocks button	Correct?
Web	✅ Shown (labeled "Optional")	❌ No	✅ Correct
iOS (SwiftUI)	❌ Not shown at all	❌ No	❌ Bug — should show as optional
Android (Jetpack Compose)	✅ Shown	✅ Yes — blocks	❌ Bug — should not block

Summary of Bugs

• iOS: Optional fields (First/Last name) are completely hidden —
  users have no way to fill them during sign-up
• Android: Optional fields are shown but incorrectly block the
  "Done" button, treating them as Required
• Root cause: Both native SDKs (SwiftUI + Jetpack Compose)
  misinterpret the "Optional" setting from the Dashboard
