This is an Air native extension to read and write to the device’s keychain.
This extension enables reading data from and writing data to the iOS device’s keychain. This extension stores data as strings.
This is version 0.5 of this extension.
The bin folder contains the compiled extension and the default swc, which can be used for local testing if required by your development environment (Flash Builder shouldn’t need it, but other IDEs may).
Requirements – Adobe Air SDK 3.1 or later, XCode IDE
- Add the FlashRuntimeExtensions.h file from the Adobe Air sdk to the ios/KeychainIosExtension folder in the project.
- Create a copy of the build/example.build.config file in the build folder, calling it build.config and change the properties in this file to match your system.
- A certificate is required by the build script. This may be a self-signed certificate created by Adobe Air. This should not be an Apple developer certificate.
- Run the ant build script build.xml. This creates the native extension and default swc file inside the bin folder.
A simple test project is included for testing the extension. To build this air project
- Set the access groups in the KeychainExtensionTest-app.xml file.
- Set the test access group in the KeychainExtensionTest.as file.
- Create a copy of the build/example.build.config file in the build folder, calling it build.config and change the properties in this file to match your system.
- Run the ant build script test/build.xml. This creates the test ipa inside the test/bin folder.
Keychain.insertOrUpdate( key : String, value : String, accessGroup : String = null ) : int
If the key already exists in the keychain, the value will be set to the new value. If the key doesn’t exist, the key will be created and the value set.
The return value is an integer indicating success (KeychainErrors.success) or failure (any other value, see the KeychainErrors class for the possible errors).
If accessGroup is not specified then the first accessGroup in your app’s entitlements is used, or the default accessGroup if none are specified.
Keychain.insert( key : String, value : String, accessGroup : String = null ) : int
If the key already exists in the keychain, the insert will fail and the value for that key will not be altered.
The return value is an integer indicating success (KeychainErrors.success) or failure (any other value, see the KeychainErrors class for the possible errors).
If accessGroup is not specified then the first accessGroup in your app’s entitlements is used, or the default accessGroup if none are specified.
Keychain.update( key : String, value : String, accessGroup : String = null ) : int
If the key already exists in the keychain, the value is updated. If the key does not already exist, the update fails.
The return value is an integer indicating success (KeychainErrors.success) or failure (any other value, see the KeychainErrors class for the possible errors).
If accessGroup is not specified then the first accessGroup in your app’s entitlements is used, or the default accessGroup if none are specified.
Keychain.get( key : String, accessGroup : String = null ) : String
The return value is the value corresponding to the key in the keychain. If the key does not exist in the keychain, the returned value is null.
If accessGroup is not specified then all accessGroups in your app’s entitlements are checked until a value is found.
Keychain.remove( key : String, accessGroup : String = null ) : int
The return value is an integer indicating success (KeychainErrors.success) or failure (any other value, see the KeychainErrors class for the possible errors).
If accessGroup is not specified then the value is deleted from all accessGroups in your app’s entitlements.
You can see the feature in action in the source code of the test project.
This is an Air 3.1 extension. Specify the path to the iPhone SDK when compiling the project, using the functionality built in to your IDE or the platformsdk parameter if building with adt from the command line or a build script.
