Dart

import 'package:chilkat/chilkat.dart';

void main() {
  final pemPath = '/Users/chilkat/qa_data/rsa/rsaPrivKey_pkcs8.pem';
  // Provide a password if your PEM is encrypted. Otherwise pass the empty string.
  final pemPassword = '';

  final privKey = CkPrivateKey();
  try {
    privKey.loadAnyFormatFile(pemPath, pemPassword);
  } on ChilkatException catch (e) {
    print(e.lastErrorText);
    return;

  // In Apple Keychain, the label for an item such as a private key is a user-friendly identifier that helps distinguish one item from
  // another in the Keychain. It is typically a brief name or description associated with the item. 
  // The label is displayed in the Keychain Access application and is useful for quickly identifying the purpose
  // or source of a specific key, certificate, or password entry.

  // The label does not affect the functionality or security of the item; it is purely for organizational purposes. 
  // You can edit or assign labels to make your Keychain easier to navigate.

  // On MacOS, you can save the private key to the Keychain by calling SavePkcs8File with a "filename" in the format"keychain:<label>"
  try {
    privKey.savePkcs8File('keychain:MyRsaKey123');
  } on ChilkatException catch (e) {
    print(e.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  print('Success.');
