AuthenticationServices provides native APIs for handling user authentication, including support for passkeys, Sign in with Apple, and other credential-based authentication flows. The wrapper translates Objective-C method calls and types into Python equivalents, allowing you to call AuthenticationServices directly from Python code.\n\nTo use it, you install the package alongside its runtime dependencies (pyobjc-core and pyobjc-framework-Cocoa), then import the framework classes and instantiate them as you would in native Objective-C code. The package itself does not include documentation\u2014you rely on Apple's AuthenticationServices documentation and PyObjC's general translation guidelines to understand how to call each API. It is actively maintained, supports modern Python versions including free-threading builds, and carries no known security vulnerabilities.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are building a macOS application in Python and need native authentication APIs. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and supports current Python versions. Install only on macOS; it is not useful on other platforms. Expect to consult Apple's AuthenticationServices documentation alongside PyObjC's translation guides, as the wrapper itself includes no usage docs."},"id":"pyobjc-framework-authenticationservices","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyobjc-framework-authenticationservices","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyobjc-framework-authenticationservices.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pyobjc-framework-authenticationservices/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-11","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pyobjc-framework-AuthenticationServices","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Wrappers for the framework AuthenticationServices on macOS"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":656295,"position":5495,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"12.2.2"}
