📣 - Local App Authentication in the SDKs

Hi all,

Just wanted to drop a quick note about the updated SDKs for Python, Go and Javascript. We recently introduced another beta enabling desktop applications to request an item from 1Password and then 1Password presents an authentication to the end user.

Learn more here 👉 https://developer.1password.com/docs/sdks/desktop-app-integrations 

What do you all think about this?
How is it going for you?
Have you had a chance to give it a try?

Here's a quick video, I recorded introducing the idea and giving a quick example of it in action!

Let us know what you think!

Thanks!
Phil & the 1Password Team!

    Facing a similar issue like BinaryApe​ myself, but on macOS with the beta channel selected as well. The issue seems to be that the release in the production channel is currently newer than the latest beta, so it did not even automatically switch to the beta when I tried doing so.

    When I manually reset 1Password and install the beta directly, the option for the SDK integration appears and everything works like a charm in Terraform.

    After a while, the 1Password app suggests an update to the latest production release again, since it is newer than the beta, but the feature still works right afterwards. However, a few hours later, the specific integration option completely disappears from the settings panel and an attempt to still use it results in this error message:

    Client failed to initialize, got error: SDK client creation with desktop integration failed: error initializing client: An internal error occurred when processing SDK request: Error { msg: Ignored
    │ message because feature flag has been turned off by 1Password, inner: None }

    Was not able to find any workaround, apart from repeatedly reinstalling the beta release to get it working for a few more hours. Would be super awesome if this could be fixed, especially since the v3 of the Terraform provider fixed some issues for me, so I'd like to stick to it.

    Version info: 1Password for Mac 8.11.22 (81122027)
