MAC illustrator 2022 is not detecting plugin

Community Beginner ,

We are working on a plug-in that was working fine with Adobe Illustrator 2021 25.0 and 25.0.1 but for the later version of Illustrator 2021 and recently released 2022 , it is not loading the plugin anymore on macOS. On windows, 2021 plug-in was also working fine.

 

Could you please suggest if there is any new requirement or change required to compile a plugin for these new version (25.1) of Illustartor 2021 and Illustrator 2022?

I know nothing about plug-in development but isn't there a specific portal/site for developers to get the latest info, aside from just https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/plug-ins.html, that you should already know about and have access to?

Is your plugin a CEP panel (JavaScript), or does it have C++ components?

 

It could be that macOS users need to use your plugin in Rosetta mode.

 

There was a C++ update here, but I don't think that's the issue with 2022: https://medium.com/adobetech/an-illustrator-25-1-update-for-plugin-developers-31aa4baaeecc?source=fr...

 

There was also an issue with AiHostAdapter not being signed, and I had to upload it here: https://github.com/Adobe-CEP/CEP-Resources/tree/master/CEP_11.x/AIHostAdapter

Thanks for replying.

Our plugin is based on C++ components. I will try the solutions mentioned in the links. If you have any other information, then please share

I am trying generating pipl files as mentioned in your links. Meanwhile I checked for previous version of Illustrator plugins which we built, we never used/generated any pipl files.

So can there be another reason for this issue  ?

There was a change in how those files were generated...

 

Anyhow, sure, there could be other reasons.

 

If you use the AIHostAdapter, that needs to be updated: https://github.com/Adobe-CEP/CEP-Resources/tree/master/CEP_11.x/AIHostAdapter

 

If you use BridgeTalk, there might be some issues... Or the XMP Script library is broken in Illustrator 25 but working in Illustrator 26.

 

Did you try Illustrator 26? Does it have the same issues?

Hi,

Thanks for sharing your iputs. We have build the plugin for Illustartor 26 and Illustrator able to detect our application.

But Illustrator is not appearing in Mac OS / System Prefs / Security and Privacy / Automation settings and therefore not allowing Illustrator to control other Apps like our application. Do you know why illustartor 26 is not appearing this automation setting ? For earlier versions of Illustartor, it was always automaticaly recognised by automation settings.

Please share a screen recording to explain "But Illustrator is not appearing in Mac OS / System Prefs / Security and Privacy / Automation settings and therefore not allowing Illustrator to control other Apps like our application". It will help us understand what are the limitations of Illustrator being not listed in Automation settings.

You can share more details here sharewithai@adobe.com

Hi!

 

This bug has been logged internally as AI-4255740.

 

The only workaround is to use a different version of Illustrator:

 

Apparently a workaround is to install an older version like 25.0/24.0 alongside 26.0, which will then show up under automation but then the workaround is not possible on Mac Silicon machines as you can only go back as far as 25.4

Hi,

 

I read the ticket, and it looks like the Illustrator team was waiting to hear from you - did you email Rama, at the address above?

 

The ticket is marked as "to test". In the last comment someone asked "Which release was this last working on as per expectation?"

 

Can you confrim if this issue is resolved in illustrator latest versions or not? Do we we still need to use this workaround?
 
What was the workaround?

I was refering "Apparently a workaround is to install an older version like 25.0/24.0 alongside 26.0, which will then show up under automation but then the workaround is not possible on Mac Silicon machines as you can only go back as far as 25.4" workaround suggested by you.

 

We have tried that with 24.0 Illustartor ( 2020) and after installing this older version, the latest versions of illustrator 25.0 and 26.0 are now detected by  automation settings. So my question was do we still need to do this workaround ?

Do you Notarize it (for Catalina, Big Sur or later)? Did you build for Intel, ARM or both?
