Does Apple support lighting port readers? Depends on what you mean by “support”. The iOS security infrastructure is able to work with smart card readers connected via Lightning, USB, NFC, and others. The exact mechanics of how that works, and who supports it if it fails!, depends on the connection type. What is the need of crypto token kit extension if we are able to list the certificates from key chain just by adding com.apple.token in the entitlements file. The built-in infrastructure can work the SE and with PIV hardware token. If your hardware token needs custom support, or you want to create a virtual token that’s not backed by directly connected hardware, you create a CTK appex. For example, my Yubikey 5Ci has NFC support. That only works if Yubico’s app is installed, because the app contains the CTK appex that bridges to NFC [1].
