Hello. I want to do the following and need your help.
I want to import a certificate (pkcs#12) into my macOS keychain with a setting that prohibits exporting the certificate.
I want to import the certificate (pkcs#12) into my login keychain or system keychain.
I was able to achieve [1] with the help of the following threads, but have the following problems.

how to import into login keychain or system keychain
How to achieve this without using the deprecated API
To import into the login keychain, I could use the “SecKeychainCopyDefault” function instead of the “SecKeychainCopySearchList” function,
However, both of these functions were deprecated APIs.
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/seckeychaincopysearchlist(_:)
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/seckeychaincopydefault(_:)
I checked the following URL and it seems that using the SecItem API is correct, but I could not figure out how to use it.

Is there any way to import them into the login keychain or system keychain without using these deprecated APIs?

Can you please give me a hand with importing certificates under MacOS?
I want to connect to Wi-Fi with 802.1X authentication (EAP-TLS) using a certificate that my homebrew application imported into my data protection keychain, but the imported certificate does not show up and I cannot select the certificate.
It also does not show up in the Keychain Access app.
One method I have tried is to import it into the data protection keychain by using the SecItemAdd function and setting kSecUseDataProtectionKeychain to true, but it does not work.
Is there a better way to do this?
ID:
for id in identities {
let identityParams: [String: Any] = [
kSecValueRef as String: id,
kSecReturnPersistentRef as String: true,
kSecUseDataProtectionKeychain as String: true
]
let addIdentityStatus = SecItemAdd(identityParams as CFDictionary, nil)
if addIdentityStatus == errSecSuccess {
print("Successfully added the ID.: \(addIdentityStatus)")
} else {
print("Failed to add the ID.: \(addIdentityStatus)")
}
}
Certificate:
for cert in certificates {
let certParams: [String: Any] = [
kSecValueRef as String: cert,
kSecReturnPersistentRef as String: true,
kSecUseDataProtectionKeychain as String: true
]
let addCertStatus = SecItemAdd(certParams as CFDictionary, nil)
if addCertStatus == errSecSuccess {
print("Successfully added the certificate.: (\(addCertStatus))")
} else {
print("Failed to add the certificate.: (\(addCertStatus))")
}
}
Private key:
for privateKey in keys {
let keyTag = UUID().uuidString.data(using: .utf8)!
let keyParams: [String: Any] = [
kSecAttrApplicationTag as String: keyTag,
kSecValueRef as String: privateKey,
kSecReturnPersistentRef as String: true,
kSecUseDataProtectionKeychain as String: true
]
let addKeyStatus = SecItemAdd(keyParams as CFDictionary, nil)
if addKeyStatus == errSecSuccess {
print("Successfully added the private key.: \(addKeyStatus)")
} else {
print("Failed to add the private key.: \(addKeyStatus)")
}
}
