Keychain sharing between plug-ins and apps

I'm exploring options for sharing a keychain item between a plug-in and a standalone application. Despite my efforts, I haven't found a straightforward method to accomplish this. Can anyone provide guidance on enabling keychain sharing between these components?

That is, indeed, a challenging problem.

What platform are you targeting?

And, if it’s on macOS, what sort of plug-in? A new-style one, based on ExtensionKit? Or an old school in-memory plug-in?

And if it’s the latter, are there any constraints on the apps that might be loading this plug-in? That is, is it a plug-in for a specific app? Or a plug-in that might be loading by a wide variety of apps?

Share and Enjoy

  • I'm focusing on macOS and utilizing an in-memory plugin intended for specific applications.
