site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: pro-apps-dev@lists.apple.com Paul, That’s very odd. What OS are you on? There should be nothing else you need to do to the template. You can try turning on code-signing and also sandboxing to see if that fixes the problem. I don’t believe you need either of those, but I could be wrong. I have heard of one other thing that sometimes fixes a problem like this. Some developers have reported that booting into single-user mode and then booting back into regular mode resets something and allows this to work. Obviously you shouldn’t have to do that, but it’s one more thing you can try. Darrin

Hey Darrin -

I tried that - nothing seems to work. Am I supposed to do anything else to the template project to get it to work (such as turn on code-signing)?

I'm running Sierra 10.12.5 and XCode 8.3.3. Do I need any particular version of Motion or FCP installed?

Thanks!

Paul,

This is likely due to a bug in Launch Services (hopefully resolved in High Sierra). I’ve found that I often have to go to the Finder and manually launch the app once for it to get registered. After that it shows up from the command line and in Motion.

To do that, you can go to the Project Navigator in Xcode, twirl open your project, then twirl open the “Products” folder. If you right click or control click on the App shell, there should be an option to “Show in Finder” or “Reveal in Finder” or something like that. Choosing that will open the enclosing folder. Just double-click it to launch and then quit it.

In the past I've built all of my FxPlugs by hand. This time I'd like to use the template that comes with the latest SDK I could find (3.1.1).

I used the template in XCode to create the stock template plugin with the name of my choice. It built the shell app and everything, so I ran it and then quit it. It is my understanding that this should register the fxplug with the system. But I tried running pluginkit -mA and it does not show up - nor does it show up in Motion.

I also tried manually registering it with pluginkit -a but that also had no effect.

Is there some other step I'm missing?
