I’ve developed an authorization plug-in with a mechanism that runs an SFAuthorizationPluginView subclass and I’m facing a couple issues:
- Glitch after successful login
After setting kAuthorizationResultAllow in the context the user is successfully logged in and brought to the desktop but the login controls remain onscreen for a few seconds after login is complete, resulting in them being visible at the same time as the dock, menu bar and desktop.
I’ve also tried what’s mentioned here https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/780212 but without any luck. It’s also worth mentioning that the deinit() in my SFAuthorizationPluginView subclass never gets called when the plugin it’s loaded at the login stage but it does get called the plugin is used to re-authenticate the user after they locked their screen.
- update() doesn't trigger the plugin to call view(for:)
I’m trying to update the UI elements out of my control (like buttons and user avatar images) in order to have them placed at the proper position on the screen after a resize of my inner NSView. To do that I call update() but it appears that does not trigger the plugin to call view(for:) and update system UI elements placement. Is this the expected behavior?
- setButton not working as expected
I’m trying to disable the login button by calling the setButton(_:enabled:) passing a SFButtonTypeLogin as inButtonType, as suggested here: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/777432. When the method is called at the login screen it has no effect on the button (the one with the forward-arrow icon) but when it’s called by the plugin loaded at the ‘unlock screen’ stage it successfully disable the ‘OK’ button.
- Certificate issue
When trying to run a network request from the plugin loaded in the ‘unlock screen’ scenario, I always get this type of error:
The certificate for this server is invalid. You might be connecting to a server that is pretending to be <<server_url>> which could put your confidential information at risk
Everything works as expected when the plugin is loaded either at login screen or for authorizing an operation that requires admin privileges while the user is logged in.
