Can you please explain how you got the plugin notorized? Did you convert it to a intaller package (pkg)? Or a zip file? Or a dmg? It would be a real big help.

Thank you for helping out on this. The CEP version was also my first guess. So tried changing that to CEP 9, but it still does not work. I didn't try CEP 11, ...because AE 2020 uses CEP 9, but I guess I can try that as well. With regard to what you told about signing, yes, your observation is correct. The signature list added by the ZXPSignCmd tool invalidates the notorization. The method I outlined initially (at the start of the question) was working perfectly (both AE and Apple GateKeeper were happy) until AE 2020. Now it gives the "different Team IDs" error. Here a thread found on Apple Developer forum on when this error occcurs: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/129977 For our scenario, the "hardened runtime" is AE, right? Should the entitlement be added there?

Thank you so much for your response. Please do try to direct the question to the relevant personal. I did read David Barranca's notes (https://www.davidebarranca.com/2019/04/notarizing-installers-for-macos-catalina/). It was helpful, but he's refering to packagers and installers (.pkg and .dmg). By sign, if you meant "signing code with Apple certificate", nortorization fails if the code has not been signed. If you meant "signing with Adobe certificate (creation of the ZRP package)", once you notroize it, Apple Gatekeeper will not tolerate any changes to the zip file (like the addition of signatures) after notorizing it. What really put me into the above path was this thread on the Apple Devloper Forum (https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/124336?answerId=388618022#388618022). Please see the response by "eskimo" (an Apple Employee) on that thread.

We have a CEP extension with Node.JS enabled (uses CEP 6.0). The node server requires some modules which are compilled C++ addons. Following is the process I have been using to get Apple GateKeeper to allow the extension to run: 1) Invididually sign each of the (compiled C++ addons) modules with my Apple Developer ID (Application) 2) Sign the final product with my Adobe Certificate using ZXPSignCmd tool 3) Convert the package into a ZIP file and get it notarized by Apple The procedure has been working fine until After Effects 2020. Now Afer Effects is throwing the error: "code signature in (path-to-compiled-module) not valid for use in process using Library Validation: mapping process and mapped file (non-platform) have different Team IDs" The server is not allowed to run when these modules are present. Is this because After Effects 2020 has been signed by Adobe as a hardeened runtime without the com.apple.security.cs.disable-library-validation entitlement? Is there any way to get around this? Am I missing something?

Just because you said so, I checked again. And yes, it does work. The function is a pretty basic function like: function functionToExecute() { read-some-files-and-check-for-a-job if-job-found-do-the-job render-job } By the way, there is no loop within "functionToExecute()", if that's your concern. The loop is "app.scheduleTask". Which version of After Effects did you try this on? I don't know whether this is a glitch in After Effects that makes it work, but it works fine (at least for me). Maybe you can post the code you tried and then I can check it?

When the user clicks the "Start" button, create a task like so: var taskId = app.scheduleTask("functionToExecute()", 300, true); When the user clicks the "Stop" button, cancel the task like so: app.cancelTask(taskId); The app doesn't yeild control while a task like rendering is going on, but if it idle, it will yield control (Stop button will be active).

I used app.sheduleTask to achieve the effect. It's working now.

My script is launched from the ScriptUI Panels (so it's a Window). In the script user interface, there are two buttons: "Start" and "Stop". When you click the "Start" button, the script executes a sequence of commands in a loop. The "Stop" button is supposed to stop this loop (it does this by setting a loop condition to false). But when the "Start" button is pressed, the script UI becomes unresponsive. Any idea how to make it (the UI) responsive so the "Stop" button can be clicked? .update() doesn't work with scripts in the ScriptUI Panels.

Hey françois leroy, Yeah, that was what I ended up doing. I created multiple invisible layer parameters and a button parameter (that was visible). The user can select all the necessary layers and clicking the button parameter will assign those layers to the layer parameters.

I'm using the PF_Param_LAYER parameter in an effect plugin. I want to allow the user to select multiple layers in the dropdown. Is this possible?

Is there a way to scan the project, identify all comps in the project and list these comps in a popup parameter (of a Effects plugin)? I checked the sample projects, but couldn't find a project that had this feature. I'm new to developing After Effects plugins, so would greatly appreciate all help you can give me. Thanks.
