False Alert of non-public symbols from Security.framework

Just pushed a build to AppStore Connect and received the reply below about referenced non-public symbols. Since all of these are as far as I know public and from Security.framework, the message appears to be a false alarm. Correct?

Same problem here with a widely used class to access the keychain (KeychainItemWrapper.m). iOS version passed without issue, but the MacOS version failed due to Non-public API usage, looks like a false alarm but it needs to be fixed by Apple. I sent an email about this problem on 19 Feb, I got a response asking for screenshots(?!!) and I responded back yesterday and waiting for a solution. Let me know if you find a workaround.

I also ran into this problem. The iOS build runs without problems, the Mac Catalyst version throws an error:

I am facing the same problem. Any news? Solutions? Workarounds?

I have the same issue with Alamofire 5

I have the same issue using SAMKeychain. I've tried contacting Apple through several different support routes. Developer support, code leverl support, you name it. I'm having a VERY hard time getting any help or anyone to even acknowledge they understand or will pass this along to the App Store connect development team. Very disappointing.


They keep asking me to clear my web browser history, and this is supposed to be developer support!

I just uploaded a new binary and now everything seems to works fine.

have also experienced this same problem.
