SecKeychain API has been declared deprecated a long time ago. Do people from Apple or developers have a rough idea when this API will be definitely removed? One year from now? More? Less?
Do people from Apple … have a rough idea when this API will be definitely removed?
TN3137 On Mac keychain APIs and implementations talks about this, but it doesn’t offer any timeline.
Note that:
-
SecKeychainwas deprecated because it’s intimately tied to the file-based keychain, which is largely deprecated in favour of the data protection keychain. -
However, certain things — most notably, using the keychain from a daemon — are currently not supported by the data protection keychain.
If you’re able to use the data protection keychain, I recommend that you make a plan for migrating to it. If you’re not able to use the data protection keychain, write back with an explanation of as to why not.
