Sandboxed application can't communicate with browser extension

I have installed 1Password from the Ubuntu Software Center and installed the accompanying Chromium browser extension. When I launch 1Password, then go to Settings > Browser, I see the following text:...

I'm really excited to read that the browser extension should be able to communicate with the desktop app in nixos now. I can't get it to work yet, and I've love some help figuring it out.

  • I have _1password-gui installed, resulting in /nix/store/i2abcm68fldnivx6ysl6287m7war2k98-1password-8.6.1 as the package path for all of my 1password processes.
  • I'm using the 1Password Chrome extenstion with id aeblfdkhhhdcdjpifhhbdiojplfjncoa and version 2.3.3.
  • I'm using Chrome stable, installed as /nix/store/1slp1hcclwxkmp72swwxzypa7342bpyr-google-chrome-100.0.4896.127.

.config/1Password/logs/1Password_rCURRENT.log says

INFO 2022-04-27T15:58:19.643 tokio-runtime-worker(ThreadId(7)) [1P:native-messaging/op-native-core-integration/src/lib.rs:293] Active native core integration is awaiting messages`

There is nothing current in .config/1Password/logs/BrowserSupport/1Password_rCURRENT.log.

My Chrome extension keeps logging the following to its console:


💫 Looking for desktop app com.1password.1password
