Xamarin Essentials SecureStorage Value Extractor
// While updating my codebase to use .NET MAUI instead of Xamarin Forms, I had trouble accessing values I securely stored using
// Xamarin Essentials' SecureStorage class. The old keys I was using werent working for the new MAUI SecureStorage class. Here is a helper
// class that you can use to extract those old saved values. It uses the same Xamarin Essentials SecureStorage class code MINUS the Set functionality which leaves:
// Task<string> GetAsync(string key)
// bool RemoveKey(string key)
// void RemoveAll()
// IMPORTANT - Make sure you have an Entitlements.plist with the following:
// <key>keychain-access-groups</key>
// <string>$(AppIdentifierPrefix)$(CFBundleIdentifier)</string>
// and that the Entitlements.plist is set in the Custom Entitlements field for Bundle Signing
// Coder beware. I tested this except for Android Version < 23. Test for yourself before using it. Not my fault if it breaks something.
