I am trying to get pyscard to run under OSX. I have successfully managed to get it run under Linux VM on the same computer using a USB based reader.

However on native OSX I cannot make pyscard to find my reader.

Are there any up-to-date instructions what native dependencies and setup pyscard needs in order to run under OSX (10.11.6).

This might not be the right forum to ask these questions. But basically I want to figure out

How can I tell if OSX recognizes my reader
What command line tools I can use to check if OSX and reader recognize the cards inserted in the reader

The reader is picked up by system:

But pcsctest doesn't go beyond Testing SCardGetStatusChange:

I sent email to the vendor support to see if they can help.

Your device should be supported by the CCID driver provided by Apple. Contacting Identive for support is a good idea.

It is not a issue with PySCard. Closing.

Ok thank you for your kind help.

One more question: How can I check the device CCID and whether it is supported by Apple?

LudovicRousseau commented 7 years ago

So any reader supported in version 1.4.24 or earlier should work. https://pcsclite.alioth.debian.org/ccid/release.html is sorted by releaser version.

@LudovicRousseau you are golden.

miohtama commented 7 years ago

Found my hardware on shouldwork list. Also the driver runs fine on Ubuntu/Debian on the same hardware. Will dig deeper, thanks.

The issue was solved with a third party driver supplied by Identiv support.
