Swift Keychain Class

        if let op = opaque? {
            let retrievedData = Unmanaged<NSData>.fromOpaque(op).takeUnretainedValue()
            
            // Convert the data retrieved from the keychain into a string
            contentsOfKeychain = NSString(data: retrievedData, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding)
        } else {
            return nil

OK fair warning, the code above only works if the Swift Compiler - Code Generation level is set at "none", not at "Fastest" which is the default

Make sure to test the code against your release scheme

I can confirm the issue @alexbosworth mentioned exists in xcode 6.1 as well. Nice catch dude!

I have developed a Swift wrapper over the entire C Keychain API. See if it can be useful for you: https://github.com/deniskr/KeychainSwiftAPI

Another note about this, if you are using this code and you want the keys to be accessible from the lockscreen, like in a background fetch, you need to adjust the kSecAttrAccessible value

up! 👍
