How far can you nest the app of apps concept? I’m trying to nest it so I can delegate ownership (in code) to others that might want to create apps, but doesn’t have access argo-cd directly to add a new app. These individuals might test apps from various branches that they’d create. So, how would you nest app of app of apps….?

Hi folks, I'm looking for suggestions on how to inject secret values into my Application manifest. Currently, I'm using the argocd-vault-plugin to fetch secrets from Google Secret Manager.
However, I'm unsure about the best approach for retrieving those values and incorporating them into my application manifest.
I've searched extensively, but I couldn't find any helpful references. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! 🙏🏽
