Hi everyone, I'm developing an app for macOS and eventually will bring it to iOS. It's a shoebox type of app written in Swift which will manage potentialy a lot of files. I'm currently desining the data model of my app and I'm considering using some kind of file checksum/digest such as SHA1 as a unique identifier property, which could be used as well for finding duplicates and verifying for eventual data corruption.
Right now I have found the command line utility /usr/bin/shasum that I can use through a Process, but I don't like having to use a hard coded path to an executable ( is it even available on iOS? what if Apple decides to remove it in future releases? )
So I've been looking a other APIs and came across the Security framework but I'm not quite sure it's what I need, my app will not do any encryption of data, and it seems that is mainly what that framework is all about.
Any suggestions or guidance would be aprreciated.
