Extension UI showing gray screen (blank screen)

[Ahmad5C11]

I'm developing an extension for Illustrator, it's just a simple extension consisting of two buttons. I'm using Illustrator 2023 and also try this extension into 2022. but on both versions when I open the extension in Illustrator it is showing no UI. it just shows this gray screen.

Have you enabled the debug mode? The extension won't load without being signed if the debug mode is not enabled. See the following link
