Does anyone have a detailed tutorial on creating plugins specifically for Illustrator?
---------

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


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

---------
So if any of you know of new courses, I'd really appreciate it
