Hello,

We are having a extension which is working fine in InDesign CC 2017, now we are trying to use the same with InDesing CC 2018 with supported CEP version 8.0. For that we have updated our manifest file entry as:

<ExecutionEnvironment>

        <HostList>

            <Host Name="IDSN" Version=["13.1", "13.9"]/>

        </HostList>

        <LocaleList>

            <Locale Code="All"/>

        </LocaleList>

        <RequiredRuntimeList>

            <RequiredRuntime Name="CSXS" Version="8.0"/>

        </RequiredRuntimeList>

    </ExecutionEnvironment>

But we are unable to see the extension in InDesign's option "Window > Extensions menu".

Also, If we will keep the CEP version to 7.0 then it seems to work.

Seems you have not set the debug mode for CEP 8.0. Have a look at the following link to know how its done

CEP-Resources/CEP 8.0 HTML Extension Cookbook.md at master · Adobe-CEP/CEP-Resources · GitHub

You will have to do this for every version of CEP that you intend to use in your extensions.

Hello Manan Joshi,

I have configured the debug mode for CEP 8.0 according to cookbook and still facing the same problem.

I am not sure what is happening then, are you able to load any debug extensions in your installation of CC2018 using CEP 8, or the issue is with only with this extension?

I am moving this discussion to the extensions forum where these issues are generally discussed
