Adobe is painfully slow in updating any of their SDKs. I think, as you found, looking on sites like Github are your best bet.

Hello,
TLDR: Can I expect Adobe Connection SDK to work in future versions of Photoshop and bugs to be fixed ?
I need my application to be synchronized with Photoshop at all time e.g. get notified when a document is modified in Photoshop (even if the document is not saved), and retrieve the pixels forming the new image as the user sees it on the screen.
I investigated a couple of options from Photoshop's toolkits, and evaluated that the Connection SDK would fit my needs. However I noticed that the docs are outdated (see this post), and that provided sample only partially working. I also found very few applications using this feature (I believe that it was mostly developped for Photoshop Touch which is discontinued).
Despite this, I found no mention of this SDK being deprecated and I made a prototype that works well except for a bug causing PS to crash on close when the TCP connection is still active when clausing PS (This is also causing a crash in the sample code provided in the SDK). I'm currently talking to support for this bug.
Here are my questions:
- Can I expect the Connection SDK to still work in the long run and these bugs to be fixed?
- Should I use another SDK for this use case (I believe that I could watch for document changes with UXP and call a C++ plugin that would send the image using TCP) ?
