Signed App can't retrieve passwords from keychain

  • Thread-topic: Signed App can't retrieve passwords from keychain

 I have an OS x application which attempts to retrieve a stored WiFI password from the Keychain using SecKeychainFindGenericPassword.

The expected behaviour is the the application will pop up the system password prompt and if the user enters the credentials correctly it will retrieve the stored password.

 This behaviour works fine in the Unsigned version of the App.

However when i try it with a signed version of the App (using a developer certificate) It fails to pop up the password prompt. The status received is "The user name or passphrase you entered is not correct.”

is this Expected?

Also if i try to sign the app with a self signed certificate it works as expected. Does this mean there is a problem with my Developer certificate?
