Description
Problem
Tauri apps using cryptography face export compliance challenges when submitting to the App Store. Apps must either use Apple-provided cryptographic algorithms or provide additional export documentation.
Solution
The apple-cryptokit-rs crate wraps Apple's native CryptoKit framework, providing:
- App Store compliance: Qualifies for export compliance exemptions
- System-level crypto: Uses only Apple-provided algorithms
- Rust-friendly APIs: Memory-safe interfaces for Tauri apps
Usage Example
// Cargo.toml
[dependencies]
apple-cryptokit-rs = "0.1.0"
// In your Tauri app
use apple_cryptokit::hashing::sha256_hash;
use apple_cryptokit::symmetric::aes::{aes_gcm_encrypt, aes_gcm_decrypt};
#[tauri::command]
fn secure_hash(data: &str) -> String {
let hash = sha256_hash(data.as_bytes());
hex::encode(hash)
}
Benefits
- ✅ No export compliance paperwork needed
- ✅ Optimized Apple crypto implementations
- ✅ Maintains Rust ecosystem compatibility
- ✅ Reduces App Store review friction
This would help many Tauri developers avoid common App Store submission issues.
