Problem setting custom prompt message when app asks for Touch ID/Passcode

[marcelogoto]

Hi,

I'm having trouble trying to set a custom prompt message when accessing Keychain.

I followed the documentation and set a new NSString with my custom message:

NSString *message = NSLocalizedString(@"msg.keychain.prompt", nil);
NSString *savedValue = [keychain stringForKey:@"value" promptMessage:message];

The problem is: The message doesn't show up. I tried to debug to see if I can find the problem and when the code reaches the method - (NSDictionary *)queryFetchOneByKey:(NSString *)key message:(NSString *)message { everything is nil, including message. Therefore the message isn't displayed.

I'm running pod version 0.7.0.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

If the message is nil, you can't expect anything to be displayed in the touch prompt. This is not a SimpleKeyChain issue, please reflect upon your usage of NSLocalizedString

@cocojoe I guess the string isn't the problem. The message attribute exists until I call the queryFetchOneByKey method. After that it simply becomes nil. This might be due optimization when debugging...I tried also without NSLocalizedString and got the same result.

Found the problem. It was the self.useAccessControl that was NO. The nil values were, confirmed, due to debug optimization.

My bad.
