Hi, I've been trying to post my Flash/Animate extension to Adobe Exchange, but when I upload the .zxp I get the following error.

"Ensure the XML in your MXI file or CEP manifest file is well-formed."

Here are the contents of my MXI file, what can I do to get rid of this error?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no"?>

<macromedia-extension

     name="Boiler"

     version="1.6.0"

       id="com.megacharlie.boiler"

     mxiversion="5.0"

     requires-restart="true">

    Easily add boiling to your animations with Boiler!

    Huge thanks to @slurpbert for the website and suggestions,

    and thanks to @KenaleBros for finding some really bad buges I just fixed.

    New version: 1.6.0

    You can now simply select all your frames and boiler will boil whatever drawings were on those frames!

    To add Boiler to your workflow, go to Window/Other Panels/Boiler. I would suggest using about 20 for your brush smoothing while drawing. Boiler will only work with vector shapes, for example: Drawings, outlines, and traced bitmaps.

    Huge thanks to @slurpbert for making the website for Boiler, and helping me figure out how to make this the best possible thing it could be!

Hi megacharlie159​,

That kind of error sounds particularly frustrating.

Have you had a look at our new guide's section on writing the manifest file? Also check out the related section of the CEP Cookbook.

Let me know if this helps!
