Problem creating NativeMessagingHosts directory
See original GitHub issueDescription
Request from the AgileBits team (https://twitter.com/dteare/status/1151548356637941762):
I was trying to go Brave-only on my new setup here but was required to install Chrome to have the
~/Library/Application\ Support/Google/Chrome/NativeMessagingHosts/
folder created. Is this something you could create during Brave setup?
Steps to Reproduce
- Install Brave
- Attempt to locate the following folder:
~/Library/Application\ Support/Google/Chrome/NativeMessagingHosts/
Actual result:
Folder does not exist.
Expected result:
Folder, for compat reasons, should exist.
Reproduces how often:
Always.
Brave version (brave://version info)
0.66.100
Other Additional Information:
- Is the issue reproducible on the latest version of Chrome? No
Miscellaneous Information:
Similar issue was resolved for Muon about 2 years ago:
On macOS, the user may need to copy the Chrome/NativeMessagingHosts directory over to Brave/NativeMessagingHosts to give Brave access to the 1Password manifest. Ideally, Brave would read from any pre-existing Chrome/NativeMessagingHosts directory.

FYI - edge uses its own directory
We’ll want a fix similar to what is done here (where directory is created if it doesn’t exist): https://github.com/brave/muon/pull/259/files
