Generate Keychain IBM Mobile First V 7.1

Question

I am using IBM Mobile First V 7.1 on an iOS app, the problem is after my app is submitted to the store, Fabric starts to send me weird exception:

Fatal Exception: Unable to generate key pair. Keychain returned the following status: -25308

and every time I check Crashlytics I see a different trace stack of the exception, and the below is one of the exception that I got:

Fatal Exception: Unable to generate key pair.

After some investigation and searching I found some recommendation to enable Keychain Sharing and the below screenshot is my app entitlement:

Please any advise how I can solve this problem or is there any missing configuration should be applied

Answer 1

Fatal Exception: Unable to generate key pair. Keychain returned the following status: -25308

The above error occurs when app tries to generate key pair while phone is locked or while app is running during background mode. It seems to be your app is doing MFP requests while app is background or phone is locked.

Currently Mobilefirst iOS 7.x Client SDK's do not support MFP requests running in the background. You can use non-MFP API's if you are accessing unsecured resources.
