If OSX 10.8 were to not include pcscd and its necessary support libraries, would using either sources or binaries from 10.7 work? Is there any information for OSX 10.8 supporting pcscd when it is released?
No idea. I do not work at Apple and also suffer from the situation.
I understand that Smart Card support in future OSX releases is being relegated to 3rd party support, but if every 3rd party needs to put in pcscd, it could be a mess and easily cause conflicts to occur if a patch were put in pcscd to 'lock out' 3rd party competitors.
One solution is to use the http://smartcardservices.macosforge.org/ project to distribute an up to date and neutral PC/SC layer. If Apple do not want/can't put more resources in the smartcardservices project then the "community" must take that in charge. I have a long list of bugs to fix in smartcardservices. But I need funding to allocate time to work on them. Regards, -- Dr. Ludovic Rousseau
