I'm having problems creating a plugin for Illustrator

Question

I'm having problems creating a plugin for Illustrator

No matter how I make it, it won't show up in Illustrator

I tried the following, but to no avail:
- The script type works, but it is not suitable for my job
- I tried several kinds of CEP/ExtendScript, but it doesn't work and doesn't appear in Illustrator
- I used C++/SDKs and created an .aip file, but it still doesn't appear in Illustrator
- The UXP type doesn't support Illustrator at the moment, although I tried to find a way to do that

What should I do? I feel really confused, because I tried it on three different computers, but none of them worked

Did you set the Debug mode?

One thing I do is to install the HTML test extension and see if I can get that to show up first.

Another quick check is to make sure the product versions in your manifest matches this chart.

Here's where the plugin should be located.
