Hello Apple Developer Support and Community,
We are currently working on a project that involves developing a custom Open Directory module (ODModule) for macOS. We searched extensively for official Apple documentation on how to develop such modules. Unfortunately, we have only found the following high-level introduction:
Aside from this brief overview, we have not been able to locate any detailed technical documentation that would help us understand the structure, lifecycle, APIs, or integration points of ODModules.
Could you please advise:
Is there any more detailed or internal documentation available regarding ODModule development?
If so, is there a formal way to request access to it?
We would greatly appreciate any guidance or direction you can provide.
Thank you in advance! Best regards,
Is there any more detailed … documentation available regarding ODModule development?
No.
Note the edit to your question. I can’t talk about internal stuff, per tip 3 in Quinn’s Top Ten DevForums Tips.
If OD modules are important to you, I encourage you to file a bug against the current public (lack of) documentation.
Please post your bug number, just for the record.
Share and Enjoy
