- testing it out on the iPad simulator (as I don’t have the hardware); is not behaving the way I would want it to (signed into iCloud but no “Keychain option” is available in the simulator) as in am having to login again
- is this only possible on a device? am I missing something major here?

Keychain sharing does not work in the simulator so may be iCloud Keychain doesn’t work on device as well

Hi @lganti. My research came up short regarding this issue with the iPad simulator unfortunately. If I find something that may answer your question I will share it here.

Best,
