Does an app on the App Store have access to the Keychain when the device is locked or app is backgrounded?

In my test during development, the app has read/write Keychain access when the screen is locked (passcode is enabled) or app is in background.

But debug versions of apps and App Store versions are different. Does a live app on the App Store still have read/write access to the Keychain if the device is locked or app is in background?

when the device is locked but your app was started beforehand you retain the rights

when the device is locked but your app was NOT active before (started while device is locked) you don't have the rights

Background/Foreground doesn't matter
