wrong metadata for NSCredential credentialWithIdentity:certificates:persistence:

[np5]

This method has currently (6.2.2) the following metadata:

{'arguments': ({'_template': True, 'type': b'@'},
               {'_template': True, 'type': b':'},
               {'null_accepted': True, 'type': b'^{__SecIdentity=}'},
               {'_template': True, 'type': b'@'},
               {'_template': True, 'type': b'Q'}),
 'classmethod': True,
 'hidden': False,
 'retval': {'_template': True, 'type': b'@'}}

Calling it with a SecIdentityRef object as the first argument triggers the following error:

depythonifying 'pointer', got 'SecIdentityRef'

I encountered the same error, and got following workaround.

import objc
from Security import (
    NSURLCredential,
    SecIdentityGetTypeID,
)
# Workaround for the error of `depythonifying 'pointer', got 'SecIdentityRef'`
objc.registerCFSignature("SecIdentityRef", b"^{__SecIdentity=}", SecIdentityGetTypeID())
objc.registerMetaDataForSelector(
    b'NSURLCredential',
    b'credentialWithIdentity:certificates:persistence:',
    {
        'arguments': {
            2: {'null_accepted': False, 'type': b'@'},
            3: {'_template': True, 'type': b'@'},
            4: {'_template': True, 'type': b'Q'},
        },
        'classmethod': True,
        'hidden': False,
        'retval': {'_template': True, 'type': b"@"}
    }
)

@ykrods Thanks a lot! It worked!
