EOSIO SDK for Swift: Softkey Signature Provider EOSIO Alpha

:warning: Notice!! This repository is deprecated and will no longer receive updates. The functionality previously provided here has been incorporated into EOSIO SDK for Swift in the 1.0.0 release.

Software License Swift 5.0

Softkey Signature Provider is an example pluggable signature provider for EOSIO SDK for Swift. It allows for signing transactions using in-memory K1 keys.

Important: Softkey Signature Provider stores keys in memory and is therefore not secure. It should only be used for development purposes. In production, we strongly recommend using a signature provider that interfaces with a secure vault, authenticator or wallet, such as the EOSIO SDK for Swift: Vault Signature Provider.

About Signature Providers

The Signature Provider abstraction is arguably the most useful of all of the EOSIO SDK for Swift providers. It is responsible for:

By simply switching out the signature provider on a transaction, signature requests can be routed any number of ways. Need software signing? Configure the EosioTransaction with this signature provider. Need a signature from keys in the platform's Keychain or Secure Enclave? Take a look at the Vault Signature Provider. Need signatures from a wallet on the user's device? A signature provider can do that too!

All signature providers must conform to the EosioSignatureProviderProtocol Protocol.

Prerequisites

Installation

Softkey Signature Provider is intended to be used in conjunction with EOSIO SDK for Swift as a provider plugin.

To use Softkey Signature Provider with EOSIO SDK for Swift in your app, add the following pods to your Podfile:

use_frameworks!

target "Your Target" do
  pod "EosioSwift", "~> 0.4.0" # EOSIO SDK for Swift core library
  pod "EosioSwiftSoftkeySignatureProvider", "~> 0.4.0" # pod for this library
  # add other providers for EOSIO SDK for Swift
  pod "EosioSwiftAbieosSerializationProvider", "~> 0.4.0" # serialization provider

Then run pod install.

Now Softkey Signature Provider is ready for use within EOSIO SDK for Swift according to the EOSIO SDK for Swift Basic Usage instructions.

Direct Usage

Generally, signature providers are called by EosioTransaction during signing. (See an example here.) If you find, however, that you need to get available keys or request signing directly, this library can be invoked as follows:

let signProvider = try? EosioSoftkeySignatureProvider(privateKeys: privateKeysArray)
let publicKeysArray = signProvider?.getAvailableKeys() // Returns the public keys.

To sign an EosioTransaction, create an EosioTransactionSignatureRequest object and call the EosioSoftkeySignatureProvider.signTransaction(request:completion:) method with the request:

var signRequest = EosioTransactionSignatureRequest()
signRequest.serializedTransaction = serializedTransaction
signRequest.publicKeys = publicKeys
signRequest.chainId = chainId

signProvider.signTransaction(request: signRequest) { (response) in
    ...
}
