New version - illia.budarov - 12-23-2021
Hello
Can you, please, say, at least approximately, when the new version of the HotDoor will be released next year, since it seems that the framework does not function correctly in AI22 on MacOS.
Our company needs a release for a new AI version and new operating systems.
Thanks
Illia

Unfortunately we have had to drop support for versions of Illustrator below 23. There were simply too many to maintain and too many backward compatibility issues/hacks piling up, and far too few users across our plugins to warrant support for them any longer.

Thank you so very much, Garrett, for the CORE 0.8.0 update!
I was relieved to see that Visual Studio 2015 can still be used for Windows projects. :-)
The first thing I noticed with Xcode is that AI 23-25 and AI 26 are in separate projects. May I presume that with M1 ARM support, it's complicated enough that making it just another scheme in the same project is not practical?
The first time I tried building a sample project for AI 26 macOS I got an error "hdi_rezzer cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified." I ran the Terminal command "sudo xattr -cr" on the script file, which cleared that error. Those new to macOS development may not be familiar with the nuances of macOS Gatekeeper, etc., so I hope that's helpful to others.
Thanks again!

Good tip for potential macOS/Gatekeeper newbies Rick.
Yes, managing all these Illustrator versions and architecture targets in one project file is not feasible. There are many little reasons, but the biggest is that support for older versions must come from the project file having "legacy mode" enabled, but support for the newest versions must not have it enabled.
Someday Apple will entirely remove support for legacy mode in Xcode, which will likely be the next reason that support for old versions of Illustrator get removed from hdi_core.
