===================================================================
Google doesn't allow using Chrome's API keys in Chromium builds and
strongly recommends against doing so. These OAuth 2 credentials are
taken from publicly available sources, but their fitness for use in
Chromium builds is not warrantied.
===================================================================

!!! Use these keys to reactivate Sync in Chromium at your own risk;
    they are extremely likely to stop working in the (near) future.

$ grep oauth2 ~/.config/chromium-flags.conf
--oauth2-client-id=77185425430.apps.googleusercontent.com
--oauth2-client-secret=OTJgUOQcT7lO7GsGZq2G4IlT

Note: The above works on Arch Linux because of its custom launcher,
      plus a patch to reuse --oauth2-client-{id,secret} for setting
      GOOGLE_DEFAULT_CLIENT_{ID,SECRET} similar to environment vars.

Hello All,

I'm doing the setup on a mac, and global imports don't work on mac as they should on a normal unix system, so I thought I could prevent some headaches:

/etc/default or ~/.profile variable imports are not passed to applications ran with spotlight or aqua/finder, so you should pass the variables to launchd to be able to inherit variables within applications ran with aqua/finder/spotlight.

You have multiple ways of setting global variables using launchd:

1. Setting environment variables using a launchd unit : see the link

2. You can add global variables to launchd within your shell's .profile or /etc/default with adding the following lines:

GOOGLE_API_KEY=""
GOOGLE_DEFAULT_CLIENT_ID="client_id_you_saw_under_oauth"
GOOGLE_DEFAULT_CLIENT_SECRET="client_secret_you_saw_under_oauth"

launchctl setenv GOOGLE_API_KEY $GOOGLE_API_KEY
launchctl setenv GOOGLE_DEFAULT_CLIENT_ID $GOOGLE_DEFAULT_CLIENT_ID
launchctl setenv GOOGLE_DEFAULT_CLIENT_SECRET $GOOGLE_DEFAULT_CLIENT_SECRET

Add these into the LSEnvironment section in Chromium.app/Contents/Info.plist before launching for the first time:

	<key>LSEnvironment</key>
	<dict>
		<key>MallocNanoZone</key>
		<string>0</string>
		<key>GOOGLE_DEFAULT_CLIENT_ID</key>
		<string>...</string>
		<key>GOOGLE_DEFAULT_CLIENT_SECRET</key>
		<string>...</string>
		<key>GOOGLE_API_KEY</key>
		<string></string>
	</dict>
