Quick Capture About iPhone Keychain
- There is only one keychain, and it belongs to the OS.
- It is backed-up, but it's encrypted w/ a key that is not backed-up.
- You can only read your own keychain entries, so you can't share data this way
- "Your own" is defined by your application name (not identifier)
- If you change your application name to match some other application, you can read it's keychain
- You will of course overwrite that application in the process
- This fact does not appear to be documented, so it might change
- Because the keychain belongs to the OS, it outlives your app.
- Even if your app is deleted from the phone
- And reinstalled... your old keychain data is still there.
- Beware if you change your keychain format
- I know of no way to clear out the old data except to walk through and delete them all inside your app
