ECKeychain 1.0.2

You want to add pod 'ECKeychain', '~> 1.0' similar to the following to your Podfile:

target 'MyApp' do
  pod 'ECKeychain', '~> 1.0'
end

Then run a pod install inside your terminal, or from CocoaPods.app.

Alternatively to give it a test run, run the command:

pod try ECKeychain

ECKeychain 1.0.2

By

The ECKeychain class is just a simple abstraction layer for managing items in Apple's Keychain.

It comes with a set of methods for the most common operations done in Keychain (to set, to get and to delete items associated to an account and service).

Installation

CocoaPods is the recommended way to import ECKeychain into your project. You just need to add the following to your Podfile and run $ pod install.

pod 'ECKeychain'

If you can't use CocoaPods, you can still download ECKeychain and manually add the source files under ECKeychain folder to your project.

Usage

ECKeychain is implemented as a group of class methods, so they can be called through different parts of the app, without having to create instances of the class.

Set item in Keychain

NSString *password = @"This is a password!";
NSData *keychainData = [password dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
BOOL result = [ECKeychain setData:keychainData
                       forAccount:@"account"
                        inService:@"service"
                  withAccessGroup:nil
                   synchronizable:NO];
if (result) {
  NSLog(@"Password was successfully stored in Keychain.");
}

Get item from Keychain

NSData *keychainData = [ECKeychain dataForAccount:@"account" 
                                        inService:@"service"
                                  withAccessGroup:nil];
if (keychainData) {
  NSString *password = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:keychainData
                                             encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
  if (password) {
    NSLog(@"Password retrieved from Keychain was: %@.", password);
  }
}

Delete item from Keychain

BOOL result = [ECKeychain deleteDataForAccount:@"account"
                                     inService:@"service"
                               withAccessGroup:nil];
if (result) {
  NSLog(@"Password was succcessfully deleted from Keychain.");
}
