This update mainly enables Touch ID support and adds support for data protection keychain.

From this article, macOS has two keychain implementations:

  • File-based keychain
  • Data protection keychain

Currently this package is using the (File-based keychain). However eventually, the file-based keychain will be phased out and is unofficially deprecated by Apple.

The new keychain (data_protection_keychain.go) is mostly copied from keychain.go. There were some challenges because keychain.go currently relies on 99-designs/go-keychain which is quite an old version, and the latest version of keybase/go-keychain has removed support for file-based keychain.

Merging keybase/go-keychain back into 99designs/go-keychain doesn't make sense as keybase is more actively maintained. I've locked to my current PR of keychain/go-keychain.

The existing keychain.go can still be used but should be considered as FileBasedKeychain. I didn't rename it for compatibility reasons.

Testing hasn't been added yet because end-to-end testing the data protection keychain requires a signed macOS app, so we need to figure out how to do that on a CI/CD level.

SecItemUpdate only accepts the SetData (kSecValueData) param for an update when SetAccessControl (kSecAttrAccessControl) was set on original item.
Also added a check to ensure we are running in a bundled app context.
