Since 4.0.1 update every time the client starts (computer start or client manual restart) I get a popup window asking me the password for Nextcloud File Provider Extension to use my (nextcloud) user’s keychain (which doesn’t exist obviously)
Any idea to get rid of this ?
Nextcloud 31.0.10
Macos 15.7.1
Technical background: The file provider extension is provisioned with credentials from the main app through interprocess communication and stores them autonomously in the keychain to enable independent authentication recovery and prevent race conditions on app launch. This actually is a workaround because we cannot rely on keychain access groups which would have enabled keychain item sharing between main app and file provider extension. Due to historically inherited code signing hurdles this whole topic is not easy to resolve and will take time.
Usually, the keychain item access does not provoke such prompt because the keychain item was created by and is associated with the file provider extension itself automatically. This authentication prompt does not appear for new or ordinary deployments. Something might be off in the access control list of the keychain item where the file provider extension bundle must be part of the allowed apps.
Also, strangely, this prompt does not offer to always allow access to the item in question by the given process. I am not familiar with when that option is offered.
