Hi, team.
So, I'm working on reading certificates from the keychain that have been stored or saved by other apps into it.
I understand that kSecAttrAccessGroupToken allows us to achieve that.
It is a requirement to use com.apple.token group in the entitlements file.
Having done that, I cannot store SecSertificates into the keychain, and into the security group. I can do it without the security group, but after adding in the dictionary the kSecAttrAccessGroup: kSecAttrAccessGroupToken, I can no longer add certificates.
I get the famous -34018. No entitlement found.
However, when I try to read certificates in the same access group, I do not get a -34018 error back. I instead get a -25300, which I understand means no keychain item was found in this access group.
How can this be happening?
Reading, the entitlement works, writing does not.
Here are my queries:
For adding:
let addQuery = [
kSecClass: kSecClassCertificate,
kSecValueRef: secCertificate as Any,
kSecAttrLabel: certificateName,
kSecAttrAccessGroup: kSecAttrAccessGroupToken
] as [CFString: Any]
let status = SecItemAdd(addQuery as CFDictionary, nil)
For reading:
var item: CFTypeRef?
let query = [
kSecClass: kSecClassCertificate,
kSecMatchLimit: kSecMatchLimitAll,
kSecReturnRef: kCFBooleanTrue as Any,
kSecAttrAccessGroup: kSecAttrAccessGroupToken
] as [CFString: Any]
let status = SecItemCopyMatching(query as CFDictionary, &item)
