Load PlugPlugExternalObject for a mac m1 processor, Indesign 2022

[Pontus Hulin]

I have a plugin for InDesign 2022 that is not working on the M1 processor, mac os X Big Sur 11.6.4.

When I load the PlugPlugExternalObject this way I get an I/o Error

plugPlugFile = csInterface.getSystemPath(SystemPath.EXTENSION) + "/jsx/libraries/PlugPlugExternalObject-// // // Mac/osx10_64/PlugPlugExternalObject.framework";

plugPlugFile = escape(plugPlugFile);
csInterface.evalScript('loadPlugPlugLibrary("' + plugPlugFile + '")');

I have also ttries this way:

var externalLibrary1 = new ExternalObject("lib:PlugPlugExternalObject");
var externalLibrary2 = new ExternalObject("lib:\PlugPlugExternalObject");

but I get the error:

Uncaught ReferenceError: ExternalObject is not defined

What am I missing?

I have solved the problem. Previously I tried to load the lib using a full path.

I swithed to

var externalLibrary = new ExternalObject("lib:PlugPlugExternalObject");

And now it works.

@Pontus Hulin this code would work in Extendscript right? You said in the original post

I have also ttries this way:

var externalLibrary1 = new ExternalObject("lib:PlugPlugExternalObject");

this seems correct to me. How is the working thing different from this one?
