Unsigned Extensions on Mac

Question

How do I run unsigned photoshop extensions on Mac?
I've turned on PlayerDebugMode via the terminal command
defaults write com.adobe.CSXS.6 PlayerDebugMode 1

(also ran it for CSXS.7)

Files reside in /Users/martindahlin/Library/Preferences/ inside two plist-files:
com.adobe.CSXS.6

com.adobe.CSXS.7

The same panel works on Windows after I've done the corresponding registry edit, but it never appears on Mac.

I've placed the panel inside: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/CEP/extensions
I have another signed panel in the same folder (downloaded from the net) which works just fine.

Did you update manifest version range to 17? Also I think default CEP extension location was under ~/Library, not /Library. And check from Davide survival guides

Hey guys, good evening!! I know this post is old, but ive searched all over the internet for a solution to a panel error im getting and i think this post was the closest thing ive found!

Suddenly a panel of mine stoped working, and gives me the "extension not properly signed message". Ive used this panel for the past 4 years and never had this problem! Not sure if i accidently deleted some folder some day or something like that!

Im using Mac OS Big Sur with Photoshop 2021! Ive seen only solutions for windows for this and not Mac but seen something related to the playerdebugmode command... Could you guys give me a hand??

Thanks so much! ❤️
