Hi,

I'm a newbie for Illustrator plugins and I was refferring to http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/illustrator/pdfs/getting-started-guide.pdf as a start up but the example gived used Xcode 3.1.1. I'm using version 5.0.2 and I found that most the steps cannot be find in newer versions. Where I can find material for beginner to learn. Any advice or referencelinks is highly appreciated.

Thanks

Also, as mentioned in some other threads, this XCodeLegacy script really helps in getting set up.

At hotdoorcore.com we have instructions on how to set up XCode 5 for developing plugins for CS3, CS4, CS5, CS6 and CC.

Sorry about that. I removed all our detailed instructions and replaced them with an overview and a link to the XCodeLegacy script, which is much simpler.

  • To develop plug-ins for Illustrator CC, you will need the OS X 10.7 SDK, which is included with Xcode 4.5-4.6.3, but not Xcode 5.x.
  • To develop plug-ins for Illustrator CS6, you will need the OS X 10.6 SDK.
  • To develop plug-ins for Illustrator CS5, you will need the OS X 10.5 SDK.
  • To develop plug-ins for Illustrator CS3 or CS4, you will need the OS X 10.4 SDK.

All the Xcode modifications are straightforward and are fully automated by this XCodeLegacy sript on github.
