fix: implement persistent auth session using expo-secure-store

[Midoriya-w]

Closes #264

Changes:

• Implemented persistent auth session using expo-secure-store
• Token is saved to secure storage on login
• Token is restored automatically on app start via useEffect
• User profile is re-fetched if saved token exists
• Token is cleared from secure storage on logout
• If saved token is invalid/expired, storage is cleared automatically
• Replaces all TODO placeholders with working implementation

Hi @Midoriya-w , allow some more time for this pr, as I need to test some other functionality and edge cases too. Thanks!

Hi @Midoriya-w , we are strictyly moved from expo, and our strict policy on not using any expo deps.

hey @ShantKhatri Thanks for reviewing.

I understand. Since the project has moved away from Expo dependencies, I'll update the implementation to use the existing AsyncStorage solution already present in the mobile app and push the changes shortly.

hey @ShantKhatri Tested locally.

Verified that the implementation now uses AsyncStorage instead of Expo Secure Store and the auth session persistence flow works as expected.

No blocking issues found from my side.

Hi @ShantKhatri, I've updated the PR to replace Expo Secure Store with AsyncStorage as requested. My branch is synced with the latest main and there are no merge conflicts locally. Could you please recheck the PR when you get a chance? Thanks!
