Hi guys,
I am working on a message filter extension and I want to save some sensitive data to keychain, but I am facing some problems. This is a piece of code that I found on the internet.
import UIKit
class KeyChain {
class func save(key: String, data: Data) -> OSStatus {
let query = [
kSecClass as String : kSecClassGenericPassword as String,
kSecAttrAccount as String : key,
kSecValueData as String : data ] as [String : Any]
SecItemDelete(query as CFDictionary)
return SecItemAdd(query as CFDictionary, nil)
}
class func load(key: String) -> Data? {
let query = [
kSecClass as String : kSecClassGenericPassword,
kSecAttrAccount as String : key,
kSecReturnData as String : kCFBooleanTrue!,
kSecMatchLimit as String : kSecMatchLimitOne ] as [String : Any]
var dataTypeRef: AnyObject? = nil
let status: OSStatus = SecItemCopyMatching(query as CFDictionary, &dataTypeRef)
if status == noErr {
return dataTypeRef as! Data?
} else {
return nil
}
}
class func createUniqueID() -> String {
let uuid: CFUUID = CFUUIDCreate(nil)
let cfStr: CFString = CFUUIDCreateString(nil, uuid)
let swiftString: String = cfStr as String
return swiftString
}
}
extension Data {
init<T>(from value: T) {
var value = value
self.init(buffer: UnsafeBufferPointer(start: &value, count: 1))
}
func to<T>(type: T.Type) -> T {
return self.withUnsafeBytes { $0.load(as: T.self) }
}
}
It works in the ViewController of the containing app, but when I try it in extension I get no results. Is it possible to use keychain into message filter extension? Or should I find another way of storing sensitive data?
Thanks.
