long shot question, is anyone familiar with creating SF managed package that contains a connected app ?

Not sure I've understood you. What do you mean for App? (is so general)

In Salesforce, they have a notion of a connected app, that allows external apps to authenticate and pull/push data.
We have a custom Salesforce connector that is able to pull and push record data appends between an internal mysql db using a connected app token based authentication. We have created a manage package that creates two custom fields required to push data from the db into Salesforce. Each Salesforce client has their own mysql database used to fetch and push custom data field values to the specific Salesforce client instance. A master mysql db maintains the connection authentication details of the Salesforce instance to the internal mysql db. How can we update our managed package to include a dynamic connected app (custom auth token ID and secret and unique callback URL)? I know it will require some sort of input field on Salesforce side which will be used as an input to generate the connected app, not clear on how this can be achieved. Salesforce client flow would be: 1. install manage package 2. generate authentication ID and secret 3. plug those values into a registration page on the external connector app 4. login using their Salesforce credentials for authentication 5. off to the races
