Keychain returns nil randomly

[yusuftor]

Occasionally a nil value is returned when trying to retrieve a string from the Keychain. There's no way to reproduce it, it appears to be random. Any one else had this problem, or know a fix for this? Will probably move away from KeychainSwift if not.

Hi @yusuftor, this issue is probably similar to #15. I have seen it myself many times and it is a very serious one. I do not know any cure for this at the moment. Regards.

Do you know if this issue still occurs with Apple's keychain wrapper sample code?

[evgenyneu]

I do not know, never used this wrapper. If you are going to try other libraries or this wrapper, feel free to share your experience here, it will be very useful.

In my experience this happens if you access the keychain too often in a short period of time. So I guess this isn't actually an issue with this library, since we had this problem with other libraries as well.

here i got the same issue

Hello people, here is an Xcode 8 update. As you probably already know, one needs to enable Keychain Sharing in order for the Keychain to work in Xcode 8 / iOS 10. This is explained in details in this stackoverflow answer. Let me know if it works for you.

Mon dieu. Thank you for letting us know about this new requirement that we activate Keychain Sharing. I had no idea and would have spent the rest of the day watching it nil silently.

Closing the issue, feel free to reopen if needed.
