DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES does not work in chrome on Mac OSx after version 47

[Vikas Pushkar]

I have a usecase where i have to load a patch to chrome on Mac OSx using DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES. it works fine with chrome version 47 but after that it dos not work. i checked through activity monitor to see if dylib is loaded, i couldnt find my dylib in there. Has something been changed in chrome for loading dylib patches? can dylib be loaded via some other mechanism?

Chrome on Mac is now codesigned with the "restrict" flag (see issue 523041), which on El Capitan and above prevents multiple vectors of code injection. One of the blocked vectors is DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES. This was a deliberate change to harden the app, and there is no workaround available. We don't want other processes injecting code into Chrome, as extensions are the supported mechanism for extending functionality.

Thanks for reply but I was wondering, how do u guys  support things like narrator for chrome, will it not externally load on it? Like it does in Windows? On Mac does it work the same way or different?
