Multiple BW Icons on MacOS dock when using suggested apps

[mattch3wie]

Steps To Reproduce

• Have both BW desktop app and Browser plugin installed on chrome (other browsers not tested but expected to be the same)
• Allow plugin integration and activate biometric login for plugin
• Turn on "Show suggested and recent apps in Dock" in MacOS settings
• Unlock BW browser plugin via biometrics

Expected Result

Only one BW icon would show up in the suggested and recent apps area on the Dock when BW desktop app or browser extension is used with biometrics.

Actual Result

Whenever the browser plugin reaches out to the BW desktop app to get biometric data, a new BW icon shows up in the suggested and recent apps area on the dock. A new icon is generated every time this communication happens so you get one icon for BW desktop app, and up to 2 more when the plugin needs to re-auth.

Additional Context

It seems it’s a bit of a collision in how BW calls out to the desktop app and how MacOS gets it’s data for recent and suggested.

If “suggested and recent apps” is off and the extension calls out for biometric data, the icon quickly appears and goes away since it’s opening to get that data and then exiting. Leaving just the one BW icon for the desktop app.
