Adobe XD Plugin for Visual Studio Code is not authenticating

  • September 8, 2021

I am a designer working with a developer, trying to encourage him to use this plugin to save lots of effort. He tells me that he is unable to authenticate or get a token to authenticate.

 

  • I sent him my shared libary file link
  • He has installed the Adobe XD plugin
  • He has an Adobe ID

When he tries to authenticate, it fails, he gets the progress indicator and then eventually ends up on the screen he started on. Neither Authenticate or Skip result in anything. Screens appear below.

Hi @mattcaspertfg,

 

Sorry for the frustration. Our engineering team has tried investigating the issue previously, and they found that this issue is with the VS code Plugin itself and not XD. The plugin is actually hosted in the Visual studio marketplace, so nothing can be done from our XD side.

However, the team is trying to look for the owner of the plugin so that he (the owner) can fix the issue.

 

We are sorry for the inconvenience.

 

Thanks,

Harshika

Same authentication issue here. Library is properly published and shared. Extension won't authenticate.

No response on the VSCode extension page. Is it still being developed at all?

I am also getting authentication issues when trying to authenticate via Visual Studio Code. Are there any updates or fixes in the works? (I have also posted a comment to VS marketplace. This issue is effecting a few users).

I'm also having the same problem. Adobe should make a tutorial about this.

Hi @stephh20422608,

 

We are sorry to hear you're experiencing a similar problem. Have you tried connecting with the plugin support team to confirm if there is any issue at their end? If yes, and it didn't help, could you please elaborate on your workflow so that we can help you better?

 

Thanks,

They say it's not with them. That they only can help around the software itself. This makes me want to cancel my suscription and go an use Figma again...

Regretably I was sharing the wrong link from XD with the developer. From your XD library file, use the Share icon to proceed to get the link that the Adobe XD plugin for Visual Studio Code will recognize.

 

We got my libary into Visual Studio Code but there are other issues arising. Will share updates if we have a breaktrhough, but the developer expressed several concerns about the viablity of our following this process.

Thank you so much for the message, I am sorry I did not see it until now. The Adobe XD plugin for Visual Studio Code looked so very promising! However, my dev team has determined that there have been no recent updates and they have concerns about the reliability of this approach to meet our needs to build out our library. We are going to pivot to another solution.
