It would be hard to beat the iOS Keychain API (which they are now trying to foist upon us in OS X by deprecating the old serviceable one.) It looks cleaner than the old API because it has fewer functions to call, but once you skim through the hundreds of attribute constants you quickly realize it's like unto a huge bag of unlabeled Lego pieces, which will fall all over the floor and stab you in the feet when you try to walk anywhere. The instructions are just a crudely Xeroxed sheet showing two bricks and saying "PLEASE INSERTING OF TAB A IN SLOT B. REPEAT." But then, I haven't tried sandboxing yet. It sounds almost like some exquisite form of BDSM: taking away all of your freedom and then making you beg to get little bits back. Does it come with safe-words? —Jens _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
