swift

You can specify a service name under which to save items. By default the bundle identifier of your app is used.

swift
let simpleKeychain = SimpleKeychain(service: "Auth0")

Store a string or data item

swift
try simpleKeychain.set(accessToken, forKey: "auth0-access-token")

Check if an item is stored

swift
let isStored = try simpleKeychain.hasItem(forKey: "auth0-access-token")

Retrieve a string item

swift
let accessToken = try simpleKeychain.string(forKey: "auth0-access-token")

Retrieve a data item

swift
let accessToken = try simpleKeychain.data(forKey: "auth0-credentials")

Retrieve the keys of all stored items

swift
let keys = try simpleKeychain.keys()

Remove an item

swift
try simpleKeychain.deleteItem(forKey: "auth0-access-token")

Remove all items

swift
try simpleKeychain.deleteAll()

Error handling

All methods will throw a SimpleKeychainError upon failure.

swift
catch let error as SimpleKeychainError { print(error) }

Support Policy

This Policy defines the extent of the support for Xcode, Swift, and platform (iOS, macOS, tvOS, and watchOS) versions in SimpleKeychain.

Xcode

The only supported versions of Xcode are those that can be currently used to submit apps to the App Store. Once a Xcode version becomes unsupported, dropping it from SimpleKeychain will not be considered a breaking change, and will be done in a minor release.

Swift

The minimum supported Swift minor version is the one released with the oldest-supported Xcode version. Once a Swift minor becomes unsupported, dropping it from SimpleKeychain will not be considered a breaking change, and will be done in a minor release.

Platforms

We support only the last four major versions of any platform, including the current major version.

Once a platform version becomes unsupported, dropping it from SimpleKeychain will not be considered a breaking change, and will be done in a minor release. For example, iOS 14 will cease to be supported when iOS 18 gets released, and SimpleKeychain will be able to drop it in a minor release.

In the case of macOS, the yearly named releases are considered a major platform version for the purposes of this Policy, regardless of the actual version numbers.
