You need to imagine the following wired up to a text input field and a label, then having four buttons wired up, one for each of the methods.
class ViewController: NSViewController {
@IBOutlet weak var enterPassword: NSTextField!
@IBOutlet weak var retrievedPassword: NSTextField!
let service = "myService"
let account = "myAccount"
// will only work after
@IBAction func updatePassword(_ sender: Any) {
KeychainService.updatePassword(service: service, account: account, data: enterPassword.stringValue)
}
@IBAction func removePassword(_ sender: Any) {
KeychainService.removePassword(service: service, account: account)
}
@IBAction func passwordSet(_ sender: Any) {
let password = enterPassword.stringValue
KeychainService.savePassword(service: service, account: account, data: password)
}
@IBAction func passwordGet(_ sender: Any) {
if let str = KeychainService.loadPassword(service: service, account: account) {
retrievedPassword.stringValue = str
}
else {retrievedPassword.stringValue = "Password does not exist" }
}
}

let status = KeyChain.save(key: "MyNumber", data: data)
print("status: ", status)
