+## A Note on iOS Keychain Access Groups
+
+GSI uses your default (first listed) keychain access group. If you don't add a
+custom keychain access group, the default keychain access group is provided by
+Xcode and looks like `$(AppIdentifierPrefix)$(CFBundleIdentifier)`.
+
+GSI [removes keychain items upon fresh install](https://github.com/google/GoogleSignIn-iOS/pull/567)
+to ensure that stale credentials from previous installs of your app are not
+mistakenly used. If your app uses a shared access group by default this may
+lead to new installs of apps sharing the same keychain access group to remove
+keychain credentials for apps already installed. 
+
+To prevent unintentional credential removal, you can explicitly list the
+typical default access group (or whatever you prefer so long as it is not
+shared) in your list first. GSI, will then use that default access group.
