Hello all,

I'm starting out designing After Effects Plugins and haveing some success designing them and working with them on my system, but when i send them to my friend, he can't seem to successfuly install them and get them to appear.

Details:

My system:

OSX v.10.9.1

After Effects CS5 10.0.0.458

XCode v.5.0.2

His System:

OSX v.10.8.5

After Effects CS5 10.0.0

All of my plugins are based on Skeleton, from the SDK Templates, so to test out this incompatibility I compiled Skeleton without changing any code and that plugin won't show up. The only thing I had to adjust to get it to compile on my system is the target base SDK, which I set to OS X 10.8, as this seemed like to best way to make it compaitible with my friends system which is still at 10.8 vs mine at 10.9.

The plugins I produce, I put them in my plugin directory and they show up fine, and when my friend does the same, nothing...

What could we be missing?

Thanks in advance...

Why are neither of you updated to use the two big bug-fix updates available for After Effects CS5?
