pyscard and OSX about pyscard HOT 9 CLOSED

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

Ok thank you for your kind help.

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

macOS Sierra provides CCID driver version 1.4.24

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.

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.

For the records the link to the driver is: http://files.identiv.com/products/smart-card-readers/common-drivers/uTrust_MAC_Driver.zip
