I wrote a Keychain controller that add, delete and fetch keychain items using SecItemAdd(_:_:)and related APIs with data protection keychain enabled (kSecUseDataProtectionKeychain). I am using it in a macOS Cocoa app. I am using Swift Testing to write my tests to ensure that the controller works as expected. As I understand, I should create my own keychain for testing rather than use the actual keychain in macOS. Currently, I created a separate keychain group (e.g. com.testcompany.testapp.shared) and added it to myapp.entitlements file so that the tests pass without failing because of the missing entitlement file. SecKeychainCreate(_:_:_:_:_:_:) and SecKeychainDelete(_:) API are deprecated with no alternative provided in the documentation. I noticed SecKeychain class but documentation doesn't explain much about it. How should I test my keychain controller properly so that it does not use the actual macOS keychain, which is the "production" keychain?

I've written a little utility targeting Mac, for personal use. In it, I need to be able to select a file from an arbitrary location on my drive. I have the "user selected file" entitlement added, and I have added my application to "Full Disk Access." But I still get a permissions error when I select a file with the file-open dialog (via .fileImporter). I dragged the application from the Xcode build directory to Applications before adding it to Full Disk Access. Any ideas?

Hi all, I’m trying to find a documentation about the supported encryption algorithms for p12 files to be imported in iOS. I can see in iOS 18 changelog that AES-256-CBC is now supported, but cannot find a detailed view on which list of algorithms are supported. Would appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction! Thanks in advance

I am currently implementing an authentication function using ASWebAuthenticationSession to log in with my Instagram account. I set a custom scheme for the callbackURLScheme, but In the Instagram redirect URL I was told I can't use a custom scheme. What should I do with the callbackURLScheme of the ASWebAuthenticationSession in this case?

When an app is trying to access identities put in the keychain by cryptotokenkit extension, the user gets asked a permission pop-up which reads 'Token Access Request" would like access a token provided by: " with 2 options 'Don't allow' and 'OK' I accidently clicked "Don't allow" and now can't access identities put in crypto token kit. How can I reset the preference?

Hello, I'm currently working on an authorization plugin for macOS. I have a custom UI implemented using SFAuthorizationPluginView (NameAndPassword), which prompts the user to input their password. The plugin is running in non-privileged mode, and I want to store the password securely in the system keychain. However, I came across this article that states the system keychain can only be accessed in privileged mode. At the same time, I read that custom UIs, like mine, cannot be displayed in privileged mode. This presents a dilemma: In non-privileged mode: I can show my custom UI but can't access the system keychain. In privileged mode: I can access the system keychain but can't display my custom UI. Is there any workaround to achieve both? Can I securely store the password in the system keychain while still using my custom UI, or am I missing something here? Any advice or suggestions are highly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Hi there, I'm continuing to build up the API on keychain, I'm trying to implement the ability to create an own certificate chain for validation purposes, similar to ssl. To this extent I need to retrieve the certificates from the System's stores but I can't seem to find a way to do this in code? Creating a query with kSecMatchTrustedOnly only returns certificates which are seemingly manually marked as trusted or otherwise just skips over the System roots keychain. As far as I understand using kSecUseKeychain doesn't work either, since (besides SecKeychain being deprecated) it only works with SecItemAdd.

I am currently using the ability to log in with my Instagram account using ASWebAuthenticationSession and it is not working! I filled in the URL directly and there was no problem on the web, but when I run it in SwiftUI in Xcode, it doesn't work and Error: The operation couldn’t be completed. (com.apple.AuthenticationServices.WebAuthenticationSession error 2.) I get this error. I was told that I need a custom scheme to return to mobile, but the Instagram redirect URL says no custom scheme. What should I do? IDs and URLs are placed under assumption. I have no idea since this is my first implementation. Should I send the scheme URL from the website to mobile once using Django or something else? import SwiftUI import AuthenticationServices struct InstagramLoginView: View { @State private var authSession: ASWebAuthenticationSession? @State private var token: String = "" @State private var showAlert: Bool = false @State private var alertMessage: String = "" var body: some View { VStack { Text("Instagram Login") .font(.largeTitle) .padding() Button(action: { startInstagramLogin() }) { Text("Login with Instagram") .padding() .background(Color.blue) .foregroundColor(.white) .cornerRadius(10) } if !token.isEmpty { Text("Token: \(token)") .padding() } } .alert(isPresented: $showAlert) { Alert(title: Text("Error"), message: Text(alertMessage), dismissButton: .default(Text("OK"))) } } func startInstagramLogin() { let clientID = "XXXXXXXXXX" // Instagram client ID let redirectURI = "https://example.com" // Instagram Redirect URI guard let authURL = URL(string: "https://api.instagram.com/oauth/authorize?client_id=\(clientID)&redirect_uri=\(redirectURI)&scope=user_profile,user_media&response_type=code") else { print("Invalid URL") return } authSession = ASWebAuthenticationSession(url: authURL, callbackURLScheme: "customscheme") { callbackURL, error in if let error = error { print("Error: \(error.localizedDescription)") return } guard let callbackURL = callbackURL else { print("Invalid callback URL") return } if let code = URLComponents(string: callbackURL.absoluteString)?.queryItems?.first(where: { $0.name == "code" })?.value { print("Authorization code: \(code)") getInstagramAccessToken(authCode: code) } } authSession?.start() } func getInstagramAccessToken(authCode: String) { let tokenURL = "https://api.instagram.com/oauth/access_token" var request = URLRequest(url: URL(string: tokenURL)!) request.httpMethod = "POST" let clientID = "XXXXXXXXXXXX" let clientSecret = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXX" // Instagram clientSecret let redirectURI = "https://example.com/" let params = "client_id=\(clientID)&client_secret=\(clientSecret)&grant_type=authorization_code&redirect_uri=\(redirectURI)&code=\(authCode)" request.httpBody = params.data(using: .utf8) request.setValue("application/x-www-form-urlencoded", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type") URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: request) { data, response, error in if let error = error { print("Error: \(error.localizedDescription)") return } guard let data = data else { print("No data") return } if let jsonResponse = try?

I am using the Secure Enclave to generate private keys with kSecAttrAccessibleWhenPasscodeSetThisDeviceOnly and SecAccessControlCreateFlags.biometryCurrentSet. The public key is derived from the Secure Enclave private key at creation and stored in the Keychain for later retrieval. During testing, I observed the following: When the device's passcode is removed, the public key stored in the Keychain is deleted as expected. However, the private key in the Secure Enclave can still be fetched using SecItemCopyMatching, despite being tied to the passcode for protection. My questions are: Is this behavior expected? How does the Secure Enclave manage private keys in scenarios where the passcode is removed? Is there a way to ensure that the Secure Enclave private key is deleted entirely (not just rendered inaccessible) when the passcode is removed? Any clarification or relevant documentation references would be very helpful. Thank you!

I'm developing an authorization plugin for macOS and encountering a problem while trying to store a password in the system keychain (file-based keychain). The error message I'm receiving is: Failed to add password: Write permissions error. Operation status: -61 Here’s the code snippet I’m using: import Foundation import Security @objc class KeychainHelper: NSObject { @objc static func systemKeychain() -> SecKeychain? { var searchListQ: CFArray? = nil let err = SecKeychainCopyDomainSearchList(.system, &searchListQ) guard err == errSecSuccess else { return nil } let searchList = searchListQ! as! [SecKeychain] return searchList.first } @objc static func storePasswordInSpecificKeychain(service: String, account: String, password: String) -> OSStatus { guard let systemKeychainRef = systemKeychain() else { print("Error: Could not get a reference to the system keychain.") return errSecNoSuchKeychain } guard let passwordData = password.data(using: .utf8) else { print("Failed to convert password to data.") return errSecParam } let query: [String: Any] = [ kSecClass as String: kSecClassGenericPassword, kSecAttrService as String: service, kSecAttrAccount as String: account, kSecValueData as String: passwordData, kSecUseKeychain as String: systemKeychainRef // Specify the System Keychain ] let status = SecItemAdd(query as CFDictionary, nil) if status == errSecSuccess { print("Password successfully added to the System Keychain.") } else if status == errSecDuplicateItem { print("Item already exists. Consider updating it instead.") } else { print("Failed to add password: \(SecCopyErrorMessageString(status, nil) ?? "Unknown error" as CFString)") } return status } } I am callling storePasswordInSpecificKeychain through the objective-c code. I also used privileged in the authorizationDb (system.login.console). Are there specific permissions that need to be granted for an authorization plugin to modify the system keychain?

Hi, I'm leveraging ASAuthorizationSecurityKeyPublicKeyCredentialProvider to authenticate users to an internal service using security keys or passkeys. I'm not using Sign in with Apple - registration is done in another internal service. We're using associated domains. This is on MacOS only. I'm wondering whether I can programatically determine whether the user has a passkey enrolled with our super-secret-internal-service.com domain already? The reason I'm asking is simply better UX - if the user doesn't have a passkey enrolled, I'd like to avoid offering them an option to use a platform authenticator and only offer them to tap their security key. We can assume that all users already have their security keys enrolled already. So something like the following: let securityKeyProvider = ASAuthorizationSecurityKeyPublicKeyCredentialProvider(relyingPartyIdentifier: options.rpId) let securityKeyRequest = securityKeyProvider.createCredentialAssertionRequest(challenge: options.challenge.data(using: .utf8) ?? Data()) let platformProvider = ASAuthorizationPlatformPublicKeyCredentialProvider(relyingPartyIdentifier: options.rpId) let platformKeyRequest = platformProvider.createCredentialAssertionRequest(challenge: options.challenge.data(using: .utf8) ?? Data()) var authRequests: [ASAuthorizationRequest] = [securityKeyRequest] if (userHasPasskeyForDomain("super-secret-internal-service.com")) { // TODO how do I check this?? authRequests.append(platformKeyRequest) } let authController = ASAuthorizationController(authorizationRequests: [platformKeyRequest, securityKeyRequest]) Many thanks!

Hello everyone, We have an iOS XCFramework that we distribute to our clients, and we're exploring ways to enhance its security. Specifically, we’d like to isolate the most sensitive code by running it in a separate process, making it harder to tamper with. During our research, we considered using XPC for iOS but found its functionality to be quite limited. We also explored App Extensions, but unfortunately, they cannot be integrated into an XCFramework. This leads us to the question: Is it possible to spawn a new process to run in parallel with the main one in iOS? If so, could you provide guidance or suggest alternative approaches to achieve this within the constraints of iOS development? Thank you in advance for your insights and advice! Best regards, Stoyan

0 In WWDC 2022 Apple launched GA of Passkeys which will enable FIDO2 authentication in iOS ecosystem, the next gen open standards based authentication mechanism to replace passwords. On a Relying Party (RP) server supporting FIDO2 when a user registration is initiated, the browser generates a QR code to register a phone as platform authenticator. I am trying to build an app which opens up a QR scanner view and I want to register for the FIDO credential from the app by scanning the QR code generated by the browser. The parsed string is of the format - FIDO:/090409094349049349....... What information does this FIDO:/090409094349049349....... url protocol contain relating to the RP? Also, is there a way to decode this in Swift to get that information in json or string format? Since the camera app on iPhone is able to scan the QR and generate information like RP domain name and user being registered, I believe there should be a way to do this from a QR scanner inside an app as well. Or are these APIs private in nature only for usage of Camera app?

We have special use case, We have two apps, App A (Electron) and App B (Swift). App B when run independently works completely fine but when bundles with App A and shipped as dmg, App B doesn't prompt for microphone permission anymore. What can be issue? What's right way to ship both app together such that App B is hidden and launched through App A only? How can I figure out what changes after App B is bundled and comes with App A. Even if I produce dmg of App A and install it on same system, App B doesn't ask for microphone permission anymore.

When tapping on "password" in the accessory view above the keyboard, no password manger is opened. The keyboard just closes and re-opens. I have made sure a password exists and is available to be used. I have replicated this within my own app, but also from within the Settings app on the simulator (see attached gif) so I am confident it is not a coding issue on my side. I have replicated it on both iOS 17 and iOS 18 I am using Xcode Version 16.0 (16A242d) I am running macOS Sonoma Version 14.7 (23H124) I am fairly confident I have not experienced this when working on another clients app. I was using Xcode 15 for that so not sure if this is something introduced with Xcode 16.

I am trying to send email from our internal server. We are using gmail as smtp client. Gmail is bound to a domain hosted on squarespace. I have all the required DNS records - DKIM, DMARC, SPF configured in squarespace. In the Apple Developer Portal, I have also added allowed domains and email addresses in the Sign In with Apple settings. SPF verification passed. The problem is that emails sent to @privaterelay.appleid.com are not reaching the final recipient. On our end, the emails are sent and there are no errors. In the email signature the DKIM domain and the domain in the From: address match completely. Domain on tools like mxtoolbox passes all checks. Also, there is no response from the gmail server that the email was not delivered. To all other emails the emails are being sent with no problems. Please help me figure this out, maybe I am missing something.

We have the below Implementation in Android and the same has to be integrated into Swift.
