Is iOS Keychain data sandboxed?

Question

According to documentation, it is. But I've tried the following:

App A stores item in keychain. App B tries to retrieve same item from keychain. Fails.

Without success. Is there any way to do this?

The document you linked to states the following:

The keychain is intended for storing small amounts of sensitive data that are specific to your app. It is not intended as a general-purpose mechanism for encrypting and storing data.

This is unrelated to sandboxing.

Please, see at the end of the document: `Keychain data for an app is stored outside of the app’s sandbox.` – UnsafePointer Apr 16 '14 at 13:58
