Hello,

 

Every time I try to install any plugin it gives error.

 

 

Already tried to reinstall XD, followed the tutorial to resolve permission, already tried everything ... The error always persists. Any suggestion?

    Hello, thanks for the reply!

     

    It`s work now!

     

    I created the plugin folder and now it works!

     

    I believe the bug was that I have 2 Adobe XD folders in the path.

    An

    ~/Library/Application\ Support/Adobe.XD

    ~/Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/Adobe XD

     

    The right thing was to create in Adobe/Adobe XD

     

    Thank you!

    Whenever I try to instal  any Plugin in Adobe XD, an error appears "Plugin Installation Failed".

    I tried to empty space. I tried deleting "xman.db" file. I tried disabling antivirus also but nothing worked. I really need an urgent solution. 

    Thanks.
