I am calling SecKeychainCopySearchList() first; it's my understanding
that when this function is called, it gives you back the search list
used by Keychain Access. Does this include all keychains shown by
Keychain Access?
Yes. (Or rather, Keychain Access just shows you the output of this
function.)
I then take that search list and pass it to SecIdentitySearchCreate()
and loop through the results using SecIdentitySearchCopyNext() to get
my identities. [...]
Note (to all of you) that this isn't a very good idea. If you want a
keychain operation to use the user's search list, pass NULL as the keychain
argument. This will automatically use what SecKeychainCopySearchList would
have returned.
If you make your own list and pass it, then you won't be tracking changes
to the list... such as smartcards appearing and disappearing. Yes,
sometimes it may take a little while for these changes to propagate through
the system. Why take the chance?
If you absolutely need to keep an up-to-date list of the user's keychains,
then be sure to register for keychain-list-changed (keychain) notifications
and refetch the list whenever you get one.
