It seems like you might be referring to "FinanceKit" rather than "FSKIT." FinanceKit is a new framework introduced by Apple that provides access to a central repository of financial data stored in Apple Wallet. Here are some key points about FinanceKit:

  1. Core Data Types: FinanceKit exposes three main data types to model financial data:

    • Account: Represents a checking account, credit card, or savings account. Each account has a balance and contains transactions.
    • Balance: Represents the amount of money in the account at a particular moment in time.
    • Transaction: A struct that contains fields such as a unique identifier, which is useful for tracking how a transaction evolves over time.
  2. Accessing Financial Data: Accessing financial data involves:

    • Determining Data Availability: Using the isDataAvailable method on the FinanceStore class to check if financial data is available and not restricted.
    • Using a Picker: To access user-selected sets of financial data.
    • Query APIs: To create one-time or long-running access to financial data.
  3. Privacy and Control: FinanceKit ensures privacy by providing the data owner explicit control over which and how much financial data an app may access. All financial data access is local on the device and requires no internet connection.

  4. Use Cases: FinanceKit can be used to build compelling financial apps by providing rich financial information, including high-level details for each account, available balance information, and access to financial transactions.
