[sync-services-developers] Keychain Access syncing misery

[Martin Redington]

I'm still having no luck syncing Keychain items. All of my
investigations so far have lead to a dead end.

All other Apple standard schemas seem to work OK.

Any advice or suggestions gratefully received.

   cheers,
          Martin

===========================================

Details follow below.

My system is up to date (10.4.2 8C46)

My app is registered with sync services as an "app", and to sync with
all of the com.apple.keychain.* datatypes.

I have a small number of keychain items.

Syncrospector reports that both my app and keychain have synced
successfully, and are on the same generation.

Changes to the keychain items are not sent to my app.

Syncrospector reports no items in the truth database in the
com.apple.keychain.* schemas, and no items in the truth database for
which Keychain Access is the source.

The sync log at

~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices/Local/syncservices.log

shows nothing interesting. Syncing seems to work fine, but changes are
never pushed to the Truth database by Keychain Access.

When Keychain Access syncs, either kicked off manually from
Syncrospector, or in response to a sync from my app, the following
message appears in /var/log/system.log:

2005-09-23 15:25:29.263 kcSync[10352] Error communicating with iDisk server (1)

kcSync is the sync handler for Keychain Access

/System/Library/Frameworks/SecurityFoundation.framework/Resources/kcSync.app/Contents/MacOS/kcSync

running strings on this file indicates that the error string does not
actually occur in the binary.
