What iChat plugins were there? I found this[1] for IRC but that's it (and I couldn't make it work despite being on an OS from the era).
It looks like MSN Messenger didn't require a plugin, it worked because it was XMPP which iChat/Messages supported out of the box, up until High Sierra I think.

- Wowfunhappy 5y agoOh, I got IRC to work! Downloaded the example code from Apple's developer site and compiled: https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/samplecode/IRCServicePlugIn/Introduction/Intro.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/DTS40011125 https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/samplecode/IRCSe... Then I had to run "killall imagent" in Terminal for it to work properly. Logged right into OFTC in Messages on OS X 10.9 Mavericks. So... plugins were supported, but it may well be that the only plugin ever made was literally the example Apple released? :(
