For those who are having issues with submitting plugins, here’s some tips that should hopefully help ensure a smooth process: • ensure the plugin ID in your `manifest.json` is the same one as your assigned plugin ID; failure to do so will result in a failed submission. • ensure _all_ of your version numbers are of the form “x.y.z” and are between “0.0.1” and “99.99.99”. • for minimum XD version, use at least “13.0.0”, not just “13.0” • avoid four part version strings • Be sure to increment your version numbers above what’s public in the plugin manager. Failure to do so will cause a failed submission. • **DON’T** compress a folder and upload it; this seems cause “missing manifest” errors. Instead, compress the files _inside_ the folder, and then submit the resulting bundle. (Or use `xdpm` from the Adobe XD org – it should build a valid package too.) • **DON’T** rely on XD being a good indicator here; it doesn’t do nearly as much validation as the approval scripts do. Apologies for the difficulties here and thanks for your continued patience while we work out the glitches! 🙂 Oh – and if you do encounter a problem with submissions, please ping us! ---

Thanks @kerrishotts (and @DrewEndick) for clarifying all this. Very happy to say that our Astui plugin has now gone live on the store. Fantastic! ---

Strange let me sse if it is why I think it is 🙂 We installed the public one and than we are added to the develop folder a new version. Something happened that we can’t see it in the store. I let you know when we figure it out. Thanks ---

Ah – if you have one in the develop folder, that might be taking precedent. ---
