Paul,
My note is clearly referring to “application developers” not middleware developers such as Thursby Software Systems, Inc. Applications do not interact *directly* with tokend in anyway - rather thru keychain services. Tokend interface has not changed for years and has allowed Thursby and others to continue with the same codebase. So, clearly tokend has not caused breaks for you with new os releases, but possible regressions in other services may have. Let’s be sure we focus on what component you are dealing with rather than lumping everything together in one bucket.
My apologies. You are correct that Application developers don’t need to worry, only the user base.
I believe what you may be thinking of are other *related* services that may also rely on use of certificates from the card such as Login Window, Kerberos, PKINIT, etc. These other services are not SmartCardServices nor do they require the developer to alter tokend nor deal with it directly.
I refer you again to my comment that “Application" developers do not need to deal with tokend and that has always been the case.
Despite your unfortunate feeling that your radars are being ignored, I can assure you that is not the truth. Getting enhancements or regressions addressed in your timeframe may in fact be an issue, but it does not mean in any way that your radars are being ignored.
My radar 9334857 was filed on 25-Apr-2011. I guess that I’m being impatient.

But they do have to. Because there is not supported interface for developers like Thursby to make tokend, they break easily with new OS releases. My bug reports, filed and ignored for years, tell me that this is just the way life is.
