Updates the identity information using a modifier closure. This method provides thread-safe access to modify identity data. The updater closure receives an IdentityModifier object that allows you to modify profile ID, attributes, and party identification information. All modifications are persisted to the database and trigger identity change events. Thread Safety: This method is thread-safe and uses an internal worker queue to ensure that identity modifications don’t interfere with other operations. Persistence: All changes made through this method are automatically persisted to the database and will trigger identity change events that other SDK modules can observe.

Retrieves the current identity information. This method returns the current identity data including profile ID, attributes, and party identification information. The data is retrieved from the in-memory cache for optimal performance. Thread Safety: This method is thread-safe and uses an internal worker queue to ensure consistent data access. Performance: This method retrieves data from the in-memory cache, making it very fast. If no identity has been set, it returns nil .
