In InDesign CC 2018, cep extension is not getting displayed in windows menu option, after updating CEP version to 8.0 in manifest file.

Hello,

We are having a extension which is working fine in InDesign CC 2017, now we are trying to use the same with InDesing CC 2018 with supported CEP version 8.0. For that we have updated our manifest file entry as:

<ExecutionEnvironment>

        <HostList>

            <Host Name="IDSN" Version=["13.1", "13.9"]/>

        </HostList>

        <LocaleList>

            <Locale Code="All"/>

        </LocaleList>

        <RequiredRuntimeList>

            <RequiredRuntime Name="CSXS" Version="8.0"/>

        </RequiredRuntimeList>

    </ExecutionEnvironment>

But we are unable to see the extension in InDesign's option "Window > Extensions menu".

Also, If we will keep the CEP version to 7.0 then it seems to work.

Moving to InDesign SDK forum

Can you post your whole manifest file? There is another ExtensionManifest@Version attribute that needs to match the RequiredRuntime version.

See this example:

Seems you have posted the same issue in two forums, the other one being In InDesign CC 2018, cep extension is not getting displayed in windows menu option, after updating C...

As i mentioned in the previous ticket this is know bug, see the link i mentioned previously as well

Look at the Bugs section, quoting the text relevant to your issue

• Version="8.0" in the <ExtensionManifest> and <RequiredRuntime> tags in manifest.xml (to match CEP version) makes the Panel disappear from the Extensions list.

Try changing  <Host Name="IDSN" Version=["13.1", "13.9"]/> based on the your indesign version. will work.
