We are trying to get access to Endpoint security entitlement for our enterprise app that uses Endpoint Security Extension but after almost 5 month and over 3 requests there is no response from Apple. We kindly asked Apple for entitlement because we have to distribute our application to our customer ASAP. I need some information around this issue. What the reason ? How can I contact support for my requests? Thanks in advance

I'm trying to implement passkeys in my multiplatform (iOS/macOS) app, and it works on iOS, but on macOS I get the following errors: ASAuthorizationController credential request failed with error: Error Domain=com.apple.AuthenticationServices.AuthorizationError Code=1004 "(null)" Passkey authorization failed. Error: The operation couldn’t be completed. Application with identifier <identifier omitted> is not associated with domain <domain omitted> The associated domain is correctly configured, since it works on iOS. Adding ?mode=developer also doesn't resolve the problem.

Hi I've been running after a problem on my iOS app, I'm creating hundreds of keypairs with SecKeyCreateRandomKey for several different usernames, in this case, different identifiers kSecAttrApplicationTag. After I create the key pairs I extract the public keys using SecItemCopyMatching, again, hundreds of them. Problem is, without a logic explanation, some of those keys cannot be extracted. After running after the issue for hours, I noticed that EVERY time I try to extract a public key and the identifier have exactly 87 chars, the public key cannot be found. Doesn't matter the content or names used on the identifier, every time the length hits 87, SecItemCopyMatching returns -25300 is this some kind of limitation that is not explained on the documentation? thanks digging deeply I noticed several identifier sizes fail to extract the key: [982:69528] key with 7 chars is invalid [982:69528] key with 23 chars is invalid [982:69528] key with 39 chars is invalid [982:69528] key with 55 chars is invalid [982:69528] key with 71 chars is invalid [982:69528] key with 87 chars is invalid [982:69528] key with 103 chars is invalid [982:69528] key with 119 chars is invalid [982:69528] key with 135 chars is invalid [982:69528] key with 151 chars is invalid [982:69528] key with 167 chars is invalid [982:69528] key with 183 chars is invalid [982:69528] key with 199 chars is invalid [982:69528] key with 215 chars is invalid [982:69528] key with 231 chars is invalid [982:69528] key with 247 chars is invalid [982:69528] key with 263 chars is invalid [982:69528] key with 279 chars is invalid [982:69528] key with 295 chars is invalid

When trying to open an app that uses Local Authentication (FaceID) the auth process does not start right away, 3-4 times trying to auth is needed in order to get authenticated with the method the user has selected (FaceID), this is happening with many apps and seems that there's no a workaround.

Is there a way to find out when the set of keychains changes? ie, when a keychain is added or removed? I searched here and grepped through the headers in Security.framework but nothing leaped out at me -- which could just mean I missed something, as happens frequently. (This is on macOS.)

Hey Apple team (and eskimo 🙏), Our FinTech app uses iCloud Keychain shared web credentials to store a secure encryption password in iCloud Keychain. Some of our new users seem to run into an issue where the app fails to successfully create a shared web credential. All users are required to have the following two settings enabled: Settings --&gt; Passwords --&gt; Password Options --&gt; Autofill from iCloud Passwords &amp; Keychain Settings --&gt; Apple D - -&gt; iCloud - -&gt; Passwords and Keychain --&gt; 'Sync this iPhone' The issue appears to resolve itself when the user restarts their iPhone. We've had this bug 3 times now and would like to understand the root cause. We have a couple hypotheses: iOS is failing to verify that the domain for the shared web credential is valid via &lt;domain&gt;/.well-known/apple-app-site-association (and then restarting triggers reverification) Users were on a version of iOS where it was bugged (and then restarting finally completed an update to a new version). We've verified that the bug happened on 17.0.2 with one user (until they updated and it fixed itself)

Having tried to gain access to the total daily screen time API using the text/code from the below thread, we were unable to get any data access. Has anyone else had the same issue and any resolutions? Not looking for application limits, just statistics to inform user through our 3rd party application.

According to https://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/app_sandbox/discovering_and_diagnosing_app_sandbox_violations it is possible to view detailed violation reports for non-system services. Is it possible to do something similar for system services? I have encountered an issue where several (all?) of my Macbooks get into a sandbox violation situation (I assume). Below is in excerpt from logs focusing just on the sandbox violation. The errors are surrounded by XPC failures and errors. error 23:23:21.382263+0100 kernel Sandbox: Family(1316) deny(1) mach-lookup com.apple.contactsd.persistence error 23:23:24.385962+0100 kernel Sandbox: Family(1316) deny(1) mach-lookup com.apple.contactsd.persistence error 23:23:27.389910+0100 kernel Sandbox: Family(1316) deny(1) mach-lookup com.apple.contactsd.persistence error 23:23:36.408940+0100 kernel Sandbox: Family(1316) deny(1) mach-lookup com.apple.contactsd.persistence error 23:23:45.419593+0100 kernel Sandbox: Family(1316) deny(1) mach-lookup com.apple.contactsd.persistence error 23:23:54.432109+0100 kernel Sandbox: Family(1316) deny(1) mach-lookup com.apple.contactsd.persistence The above is just an except, and it seems that Family, imagent and searchpartyuseragent are trying to access com.apple.contactsd.persistance once per second or so and failing (there are also some attempts to reach com.apple.timed.xpc, but an insignificant amount in comparison to com.apple.contactsd.persistance). This in turn causes Diagnostics Reporter to start, and then end hastily almost every ten seconds. fault 23:23:05.903908+0100 Diagnostics Reporter Invalid launch. fault 23:23:16.038017+0100 Diagnostics Reporter Invalid launch. fault 23:23:26.136348+0100 Diagnostics Reporter Invalid launch. fault 23:23:36.274543+0100 Diagnostics Reporter Invalid launch. fault 23:23:46.414546+0100 Diagnostics Reporter Invalid launch. I have no idea how I did this, but I seemed to have messed up sandbox access rights to contacts for some system services?

The "documentation" is poorly worded.

hi,there are some questions about Privacy manifest 1.why do we just see the information about app's manifest in PrivacyReport after app has been archived,that does not contain our SDK's manifest info.but our frameworks that app contains have manifest. 2.does every SDK need to add manifest if this SDK collects user data or uses API? 3.there is list of third-part-sdk https://developer.apple.com/support/third-party-SDK-requirements/ ,if we use an SDK not listed and the sdk has collected use data or used api that need to display reason,should we add manifest file?

I'm trying to log Endpoint Security events to os_log. I'd be grateful if someone could confirm that using the --oslog option with eslogger actually writes event data to the system log. If I monitor with sudo eslogger exec fork exit I see events at the command line, yet if I add the --oslog option, I don't see those events when monitoring the log with sudo log stream --predicate 'subsystem == "com.apple.eslogger"'. Nor do I see them if I filter in the Console app on just the subsystem "com.apple.eslogger". Have I missed out something with my work? Any help appreciated. Thanks.

On recent macOS versions(Sonoma or previous), if system.login.screensaver is updated to use “authenticate-session-owner-or-admin” then fancy screensaver is not coming up, instead we are seeing only black screensaver ( black screen). Note: Observed we are getting fancy screensavers with this setting on macOS BigSur. Can you please let us know if this is an intentional change from macOS or we have any settings to enable to get fancy screensavers with recent macOS versions? Thanks &amp; Regards, Tata Chaitanya

We have implemented a Notification Service Extension in our app to handle remote notification and access keychain to get certificate and identity to refresh network relay configuration. Using SecItemCopyMatching to get SecIdentityRef works when device is unlocked. Whenever push notification arrives and device is locked, our notification service extension failed to access keychain to get identity reference with error code -25308 errSecInteractionNotAllowed. It looks like keychain is locked when device is locked. Is there a way to make keychain unlocked?

Hello, I am creating CryptotokenKit persistent token extension for macOS using Xcode on Sonoma. The goal is to support external crypto provider over network (with API calls). I created a bare minimum app and a new target “Persistent Token Extension”. Before I go into specific implementation, I wanted to check if my extension/token initialises correctly. My understanding is that once the host app is started and the extension is registered by the OS, future queries for digital identities should check with it as well. I tried is accessing mTLS website with Safari and Firefox that require client certificates, as well running custom application using SecItemCopyMatching to query the keychain for identities. However, Token / TokenDriver seem to not initialize (logging never executes). Am I missing something here? pluginkit sees the extension: $ pluginkit -vvvvmi demo.TokenApp.TokenExt demo.TokenApp.TokenExt(1.0) Path = /Users/alexander/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/TokenApp-dzulesgoanwnacguirprimnipibk/Build/Intermediates.noindex/Previews/TokenApp/Products/Debug/TokenApp.app/Contents/PlugIns/TokenExt.appex UUID = 617526E8-987A-493F-A9E3-6295FF5AB00D Timestamp = 2024-01-19 13:13:35 +0000 SDK = com.apple.ctk-tokens Parent Bundle = /Users/alexander/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/TokenApp-dzulesgoanwnacguirprimnipibk/Build/Intermediates.noindex/Previews/TokenApp/Products/Debug/TokenApp.app Display Name = TokenExt Short Name = TokenExt Parent Name = TokenApp Platform = macOS Token.swift: import CryptoTokenKit import OSLog class Token: TKToken, TKTokenDelegate { private let log = Logger(subsystem: "demo.tokenapp", category: "Token"); func createSession(_ token: TKToken) throws -> TKTokenSession { log.log(level: .info, "Token.createSession") return TokenSession(token:self) } } TokenDriver.swift: import CryptoTokenKit import OSLog class TokenDriver: TKTokenDriver, TKTokenDriverDelegate { private let log = Logger(subsystem: "demo.tokenapp", category: "TokenDriver"); func tokenDriver(_ driver: TKTokenDriver, tokenFor configuration: TKToken.Configuration) throws -> TKToken { log.log(level: .info, "TokenDriver.tokenDriver") return Token(tokenDriver: self, instanceID: configuration.instanceID) } }

My goal is: Generate a public and private key pair Add the private key to the keychain and protect it with the secure enclave Create a self-signed certificate with the public key and send it to a server Add the certificate to the keychain When I communicate with the server I want to create a SecIdentity during the client challenge which is basically a SecCertificate + SecKey combo. For the certificate generation I would like to use the swift-certificates library to not have to compose manually the certificate fields and signature. My problem is that the swift-certificates during the Certificate initialisation needs a SecureEnclave.P256.Signing.PrivateKey private key and to add a key to the keychain we need a SecKey object. And unfortunately there is no clean way to create from one of them the other one. I read several threads here about this, but I haven't found a clean solution for it. I tried to approach the problem from two directions: First: Create the key with the SecKeyCreateRandomKey, mark in the attributes that I want to protect the key with secure enclave and also mark that I want the private key to be kSecAttrIsPermanent so it is automatically saved in the keychain The SecKeyCreateRandomKey returns a SecKey which is a reference to the private key from the keychain (!) Unfortunately I haven't found a clean way to convert a SecKey to a -&gt; SecureEnclave.P256.Signing.PrivateKey There is a workaround to SecKeyCopyAttributes of the private key and to extract the bytes from the attributes["toid"], but I guess it's not safe to use an undocumented key ("toid") if there is no constant defined to it (the name could be changed in future releases) Second approach: Create a SecureEnclave.P256.Signing.PrivateKey Create the Certificate using the swift-certificates The created private key is protected by the secure enclave but it's not added automatically to the keychain so we should add it to can query after that the SecIdentity (!) Unfortunately I haven't found a way to convert the SecureEnclave.P256.Signing.PrivateKey to -&gt; SecKey. There are threads which say that the SecKeyCreateWithData(...) helps us, but unfortunately if we set the kSecAttrTokenIDSecureEnclave in the attribute dictionary, the method creates a brand new key for us, regardless the passed data. So the initial key will never be the same as the newly created SecKey. This we can see in the method's implementation. So I got stuck with both approaches because seemingly there is no clean way to switch between SecureEnclave.P256.Signing.PrivateKey and SecKey. One solution would be to compose manually the certificate, without swift-certificates because like that we would not need a SecureEnclave.P256.Signing.PrivateKey object. But I would like to avoid the manual composition and signature calculation... Anybody has any idea?

Hi, I want to support client certifcate authentication for a URL loaded in WKWebView. Certificate is in the smartcard that is connected to iOS device through lightning port smart card reader. For USB-C type reader, iOS supports this out of the box. But for the lightning port reader, I thought of writing a CTK extension to access smartcard and read the certificate. I have a smart card sdk to access the smartcard. Could you please let me know which is the extension that should be used for this purpose. There are 2 types of extensions available in Xcode. Smartcard extension and Persistent Token extension. Which one should be used for this case? When I tried persistent token extension, it seems to hit sign function inside Tokensession class but with smartcard extension it is not getting called when I try to access the URL in WKWebView after certificate selection. Also the smartcard sdk has EAAccessory framework dependency. Is EAAccessory allowed to be used in CTK extension? https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/111691?answerId=342707022 says EAAccessory is not working inside app extension. Thanks in advance.
