I'm using the new iCloud Keychain feature implemented by SSKeychain. I set kcQuery.synchronizationMode = SSKeychainQuerySynchronizationMode.Yes
to my passwords
Does iCloud Keychain now work? Will it be synchronized to my other iDevices?
How long does it take before my items will pushed to iCloud?
Is there a method which notifies me if new passwords reached my device?
Thanks!
I found a solution and answered in another question. SSKeychain: Accounts not stored in iCloud? - see at the bottom
Does iCloud Keychain now work? Will it be synchronized to my other iDevices?
Yes, if Settings > iCloud > Keychain
is enabled
How long does it take before my items will pushed to iCloud?
Seems like instantly.
Is there a method which notifies me if new passwords reached my device?
No.
Don't use the static methods of SSKeychain to write your credentials. Instead use SSKeychainQuery
and set the synchronizationMode to SSKeychainQuerySynchronizationModeYes
like this
NSError *error;
[SSKeychain setAccessibilityType:self.keychainAccessibilityType];
SSKeychainQuery *query = [[SSKeychainQuery alloc] init];
query.service = service;
query.account = account;
query.password = password;
query.synchronizationMode = SSKeychainQuerySynchronizationModeYes;
[query save:&error];
if (error) {
NSLog(@"Error writing credentials %@", [error description]);
}
The static convenience methods on SSKeychain
use the default synchronization mode SSKeychainQuerySynchronizationModeAny
causing credentials not to be synchronized with the iCloud keychain.
Additionally, make sure your devices have Keychain via iCloud enabled (Settings>iCloud>Keychain). You might also want to enable Keychain Sharing
in your targets Capabilities.
