Setting enablePrivatePluginApi to true on a community published plugin

@Maksim_Petriv FYI I posted related question here Slack

If there’s an answer in the Slack can you please share it? It’s not publicly accessible

You can’t set enablePrivatePluginApi to true on a public plugin — that was the whole reason this option was needed in the first place. File key is not accessible to public plugins by any means as it would be a security consern.

Here are the answers from slack:

Thanks, the reason Jonas gives is what I had feared. This is quite limiting though. Without changing the current API, Figma could just display an alert saying: “Sharing the file key with this plugin will give the developer perpetual access to this file. [ Share ] [ Deny ]”

How can I get a rendering of a frame without the file key?

Also there should be some explanation in the docs for fileKey.

@Michael_Gubik we had to do a “dance” and get the user to enter the filekey to have a published plugin - you can see it working in our plugin Buzzy - No Code App Builder | Figma Community
