(Swift 3,4,5...) Create XML Signature with KeyInfo / X509Data / X509Certificate

This example demonstrates how to create an XML Digital Signature where the KeyInfo element contains an X509Data element, which in turn contains an X509Certificate element which contains the base64-encoded certificate.

    // This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    // To begin, we'll need a PFX containing a certificate and private key, and the SOAP XML to be signed.
    // Chilkat provides sample data at chilkatsoft.com and chilkatdownload.com, and our first step is to download.

    // -------------------------------------------------------------------------
    // Step 1: Get the SOAP XML to be signed.

    //         <z:FooBar xmlns:z="http://example.com" />
    //     </SOAP-ENV:Body>
    // </SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

    // Indicate where the Signature will be inserted.
    gen.sigLocation = "SOAP-ENV:Envelope|SOAP-ENV:Header|wsse:Security"

    // Add a reference to the fragment of the XML to be signed.

    // Note: "Body" refers to the XML element having an "id" equal to "Body", where "id" is case insensitive
    // and where any namespace might qualify the attribute.  In this case, the SOAP-ENV:Body fragment is signed
    // NOT because the tag = "Body", but because it has SOAP-SEC:id="Body"
    gen.addSameDocRef("Body", digestMethod: "sha1", canonMethod: "EXCL_C14N", prefixList: "", refType: "")

    // (You can read about the SignedInfoPrefixList in the online reference documentation.  It's optional..)
    gen.signedInfoPrefixList = "wsse SOAP-ENV"

    // Provide the private key for signing via the certificate, and indicate that
    // we want the base64 of the certificate embedded in the KeyInfo.
    gen.keyInfoType = "X509Data"
    gen.x509Type = "Certificate"

    // Note: Because our certificate was loaded from a PFX which also contained the private key,
    // Chilkat automatically knows and has the private key associated with the certificate.
    // We set bUsePrivateKey to tell the SetX509Cert method to automatically use the private key
    // associated with the certificate for signing.  If, for example, we obtained the certificate
    // by loading from a .cer file, then we would not already have the associated private key.
    // In that case, the application could explicitly load the cert's private key from some
    // other source, such as a .key, .pem, etc. and then call gen.SetPrivateKey.
    var bUsePrivateKey: Bool = true
    success = gen.setX509Cert(cert, usePrivateKey: bUsePrivateKey)
    if success != true {
        print("\(gen.lastErrorText!)")
        cert = nil
        return

    // Everything's specified.  Now create and insert the Signature
    success = gen.createXmlDSigSb(sbXml)

        print("\(gen.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    // Examine the XML with the digital signature inserted
    print("\(sbXml.getAsString()!)")

    // Here is the actual output.  A pretty-printed version of the output is shown below, but the addition of whitespace
    // in the XML invalidates the signature.
