Running PIVToken example [SOLVED]

select PIVTokenApp scheme, run it, and once it is run, select Debug -> Attach to Process and select PIVtoken from the list of running processes

Insert smartcard in your reader and "createTokenForSmartCard" will get hit if you set a breakpoint there.

Correct

> Does it mean I need to install the application and not just run it from the XCode?

Nope, just run it as described above

Insert smartcard in your reader and "createTokenForSmartCard" will get hit if you set a breakpoint there.

but when I run it from XCode,NO PIVtoken Process in the list of running processes.so I select PIVToken scheme and chose PIVTokenApp to run, Insert smartcard in smartcard reader , but none of breakpoints in the source code gets hit.And I can‘t find the PIVToken process in the activity monitor,none Extension is find in the System Preferences->Extension.

It doesn't look like smartcard extension is properly work or maybe there's some other problem.

I disabled built-in PIV token as mentioned in the README.md and restarted my machine.

sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.security.smartcard DisabledTokens -array com.apple.CryptoTokenKit.pivtoken

I'm running macOS Sierra & XCode 8

Oh my god, this was very confusing, but thank's a lot, you helped me to figure out what to do.

Steps:

1) Disable PIV with sudo defaults write ... and reboot

2) Insert smart card

3) Run example from XCode

4) Wait a little bit

5) Click Debug -> Attach and find "PIVToken" process. NOTE: Not PIVTokenApp procees, but PIVToken process

6) Remove smart card and insert it again! createTokenForSmartCard will be triggered

I'm writing a new Token for italian eID card. I followed the example PIVToken and I implemented CIETokenApp and CIEToken..

As in workhardman post, when I run the CIETokenApp I cannot see any CIEToken process to attach to the debugger.

My questions are

1) should I disable the default PIV even if my card is different from the PIV?

2) May I have several different token extensions for different cards or should I have only one token at a time configured in the system?

3) is there something else that doesn't allow me to see the CIEToken process?
