There are remote API options but there are no native Apple APIs to share data across apps with different team identifiers.

Presumably the two apps/companies know something about each other - otherwise what could be the possible point in trying to share a piece of data. So could app A enable deep linking via a url and then app B invokes that url with the token appended.

No. Keychain item sharing is based on keychain access groups, which can’t be shared between teams. Sharing access to keychain items among a collection of apps explains how that process works [1].

[1] For the data protection keychain. If you’re using the file-based keychain on macOS — see TN3137 On Mac keychain APIs and implementations — the access control model is different but the final result is the very similar: There’s no way to share items between teams without user approval.
