Based on the context provided, there is no specific mention of a mechanism to host a private key on Apple infrastructure and distribute it to an app using iOS mechanisms. However, there are discussions around cryptography and secure data handling in various sessions:

  1. Quantum-Secure Cryptography: The session "Get ahead with quantum-secure cryptography" discusses using Quantum Secure APIs in iOS 26, which provide secure encryption methods, but it does not specifically mention hosting private keys on Apple infrastructure.

  2. Privacy and Encryption: The session "Integrate privacy into your development process" talks about using CloudKit for end-to-end encryption, but again, it does not specifically address hosting private keys on Apple infrastructure. Integrate privacy into your development process

  3. Device Management and Identity: The session "What’s new in Apple device management and identity" mentions certificates and identities, which could be related to key management, but it does not explicitly cover hosting private keys on Apple infrastructure.

If you are looking for a specific mechanism or API, it might be beneficial to explore Apple's documentation or developer resources for more detailed information on key management and distribution.
