Widgets and keychain access

Hi,

since widgets are available on iOS in Home screen, todayview and in Macs on notification center,

  1. will they be able to access all values jn keychain for the related app?

Yes, anything you can do in an extension you may do here. For Keychain, that would require making sure your app groups are correctly setup amongst your main app and your extension. This article may help

Be aware to respect your user's privacy and security when accessing the keychain. Your widget only provides timeline entries and is not alive whenever the widget is visible to the user.
