How do you reset an iPhone App's Keychain?
As all of the answers so far rely on you knowing the identifiers you want to delete, I would like to submit the following solution that deletes ALL existing keys for the app (iOS only)
Objective-C:
-(void)resetKeychain {
[self deleteAllKeysForSecClass:kSecClassGenericPassword];
[self deleteAllKeysForSecClass:kSecClassInternetPassword];
[self deleteAllKeysForSecClass:kSecClassCertificate];
[self deleteAllKeysForSecClass:kSecClassKey];
[self deleteAllKeysForSecClass:kSecClassIdentity];
}
-(void)deleteAllKeysForSecClass:(CFTypeRef)secClass {
NSMutableDictionary* dict = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary];
[dict setObject:(__bridge id)secClass forKey:(__bridge id)kSecClass];
OSStatus result = SecItemDelete((__bridge CFDictionaryRef) dict);
NSAssert(result == noErr || result == errSecItemNotFound, @"Error deleting keychain data (%ld)", result);
}
Swift 2.2:
func resetKeychain() {
self.deleteAllKeysForSecClass(kSecClassGenericPassword)
self.deleteAllKeysForSecClass(kSecClassInternetPassword)
self.deleteAllKeysForSecClass(kSecClassCertificate)
self.deleteAllKeysForSecClass(kSecClassKey)
self.deleteAllKeysForSecClass(kSecClassIdentity)
}
func deleteAllKeysForSecClass(secClass: CFTypeRef) {
let dict: [NSString : AnyObject] = [kSecClass : secClass]
let result = SecItemDelete(dict)
assert(result == noErr || result == errSecItemNotFound, "Error deleting keychain data (\(result))")
}
Swift 3:
func resetKeychain() {
deleteAllKeysForSecClass(kSecClassGenericPassword)
deleteAllKeysForSecClass(kSecClassInternetPassword)
deleteAllKeysForSecClass(kSecClassCertificate)
deleteAllKeysForSecClass(kSecClassKey)
deleteAllKeysForSecClass(kSecClassIdentity)
}
func deleteAllKeysForSecClass(_ secClass: CFTypeRef) {
let dict: [NSString : Any] = [kSecClass : secClass]
let result = SecItemDelete(dict as CFDictionary)
assert(result == noErr || result == errSecItemNotFound, "Error deleting keychain data (\(result))")
}
KeychainItemWrapper *keychainItem = [[KeychainItemWrapper alloc] initWithIdentifier:@"nameOfYourKeychain" accessGroup:nil];
[keychainItem resetKeychainItem];
Much simpler :)
Edit: In response to a question asked below - what is KeychainItemWrapper?
It's a class written by Apple that you can download here: http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#samplecode/GenericKeychain/Listings/Classes_KeychainItemWrapper_m.html
Add it to your project and then import it where you would like to use it. Then use the code snippet I provided above.
Block-based version of Vegard’s solution:
void (^deleteAllKeysForSecClass)(CFTypeRef) = ^(CFTypeRef secClass) {
id dict = @{(__bridge id)kSecClass: (__bridge id)secClass};
OSStatus result = SecItemDelete((__bridge CFDictionaryRef) dict);
NSAssert(result == noErr || result == errSecItemNotFound, @"Error deleting keychain data (%d)", (int)result);
};
deleteAllKeysForSecClass(kSecClassGenericPassword);
deleteAllKeysForSecClass(kSecClassInternetPassword);
deleteAllKeysForSecClass(kSecClassCertificate);
deleteAllKeysForSecClass(kSecClassKey);
deleteAllKeysForSecClass(kSecClassIdentity);
For those of us who like to just drop code in without having to have helper methods.
