I have a token stored in the keychain of my app v1. I would like app v2 (a completely separate app) to be able to access that token from the app v1's keychain. Turned on the shared keychain capability in my project. Found many examples on how to do it, most notably the example at http://shaune.com.au/ios-keychain-sharing-data-between-apps/. If possible, I would want to leave app v1 untouched, e.g. not release an update for it for this to work. That's why I thought keychain sharing was the best way. However, after configuring the keychain access groups in the Entitlements file created when you turn on the Keychain Sharing, the UICKeychainStore that is used in the example and that I added to my project is unable to retrieve the token from app v1's keychain. In app v1, however, I used the KeychainItemWrapper class provided by Apple to store my token. Token is saved as the value for the kSecAttrAccount key, which is 'attr'. Thinking that maybe something was wrong with it, I decided to do a test. I modified app v1 to use UICKeychainStore to store a value under a different key. I ran the app a couple of times just to make sure it was able to access the value, which it was. Back to app v2, I double-checked the keychain access groups in the Entitlements file according to the example. I had the $(AppIdentifierPrefix)$(CFBundleIdentifier) set as the first item in the keychain group and $(AppIdentifierPrefix).com.myapps.v1app as my 2nd item in the keychain group. Yet, when running app v2 on the iPad, it is unable to retrieve the token from the same key I used to save it in app v1. I found another article mentioning using a shared keychain group between the 2 (which would force me to release an update to app v1) but just for the sake of it, I gave it a tried. I changed the keychain group in both apps to be only com.myapps.shared for the only keychain group in the Entitlements file. Same result. App v2 cannot access the token stored by app v1.
So, since all the examples were 2 or 3 years old, I'm wondering if that feature was somewhat deprecated by Apple. Anybody has any idea or pointer?
