Discussion

Use this method to create a trusted app instance, which both identifies an app and provides data that can be used to ensure that the app hasn’t been altered since the instance was created.

You can use the created instance as input to the SecAccessCreate(_:_:_:) method, which creates an access instance. The access instance, in turn, is used as input to the SecKeychainItemSetAccess(_:_:) function to specify the set of apps that are trusted to access a specific keychain item.
