A CocoaPods plugin that stores per-developer environment and application keys securely in the macOS keychain instead of source code. On pod install it generates scrambled Objective-C classes that unscramble keys at runtime, supporting both Swift and Objective-C projects.

Use cases

  • keep API keys out of the iOS app source repository
  • store per-developer secrets in the macOS keychain
  • prompt teammates for missing keys during pod install
  • obfuscate keys in the binary to resist dumping
  • manage project secrets via pod keys set commands

When to choose

  • you have an existing CocoaPods-based iOS or macOS project
  • you want keychain-backed per-developer configuration with generated code

When to avoid

  • you are starting a new project - the README recommends Arkana instead
  • you use SPM or Carthage rather than CocoaPods
  • you need cross-platform secret management beyond Apple ecosystems
