identityservicesd wants to connect

I searched and found many topics but no answers why my Mac wants to connect to identityservicesd, each time I get a call to my iPhone 11 pro. I used to have 7S, 6S and I had never seen the pop up identityservicesd detected by a little snitch. Each time a different port.


What is identityservicesd? If I go to an iPhone settings, phone use other devices and disconnect using the iMac for receiving calls, the pop up stop.


I read previous posts suggesting deleting the folder IdentityService. I am confused.

Thanks for your help.



iMac 27", macOS 10.13

I read visited these links, it talks about keychain, I have no issues with it. I need to get an answer if I need this folder with bunch of files renewing all the time, plus the annoying pop up messages to connect to some servers and ID's are changing with each new phone call.


I called and spoke to a senior advisor from Apple, I di dnot receive a definite answers. They said if the folder is tehere, please don't mess with it. The problem is that this pop up started a week ago, I anever had any of these strange things happening before.
