Flag when plugin is release mode or development

This is usually done as part of your build step. For example, we have yarn build and yarn watch inside Adobe, and one will set a flag as development and the other will set one for production. Depending on this, the build step generates the expected data.

I have my plugin installed through the plugin manager store and then when I work on it I Load it in with UXP DT locally. I can put a file in the plugin directory and check for its existence and that fixes part of my issue. Unfortunately, I can’t check the date on that.

Get date of file in plugin directory

Your code is correct. I verified that this is a bug. Both dateCreated and dateModified are null when returned by getPluginFolder(). Thanks for reporting it! Also, I know there is an open bug that if you get the entries from getFolder(), then the dateCreated and dateModified will not be null, but will be 369 years in the future!

In your plugin code you can check to see if plugin://.dev exists or not and turn on the appropriate functionality.

Hmm… where is this from and this will be different than in my release build on the store? IIRC I remember seeing something like this in window.location (I’ll check).
