The plug-in auto loader mechanism allows for easier deployment of custom applications using a package format.

The package format is a common folder structure that has the extension .bundle in its name and has an XML file that defines the various components of the plug-in. By deploying custom applications as a BUNDLE, it makes it easier to target multiple operating systems and product releases since the parameters of your plug-in are defined in the XML file of the package. A BUNDLE can be used as a replacement to creating complex installer scripts when deploying a plug-in.

A plug-in can be deployed by placing it in one of the ApplicationPlugins or ApplicationAddins folders on a local drive.

General Installation folder
- Windows 7 and Windows 8: %PROGRAMFILES%AutodeskApplicationPlugins
All Users Profile folders
- Windows 7 and Windows 8: %ALLUSERSPROFILE%AutodeskApplicationPlugins
- Mac OS: /Applications/Autodesk/ApplicationAddins
User Profile folders
- Windows 7 and Windows 8: %APPDATA%AutodeskApplicationPlugins
- Mac OS: ~/Autodesk/ApplicationAddins

Note: Starting with AutoCAD 2014-based products, custom applications must work under secure mode; when the SECURELOAD system variable is set to 1 or 2. When operating under secure mode, the program is restricted to loading and executing files that contain code from trusted locations; trusted locations are specified by the TRUSTEDPATHS system variable.

When an AutoCAD-based product starts, the ApplicationPlugins or ApplicationAddins folder is checked for plug-in applications. The packages found are automatically registered and loaded based on the metadata in the XML file of each package.

Note: Starting with AutoCAD 2016-based products on Windows, it is recommended to digitally sign your custom program files. By digitally signing a custom program file, you inform the user as to who published the custom program file and if any changes were made to the file after it was digitally signed. For information on digitally signing custom program files, see the 'About Digitally Signing Custom Program Files' topic.

Each custom program file loaded is check for the existence of a digital signature. If a digital signature is found attached to a custom program file, the user is presented with information about the digital certificate and publisher that signed the file. The user can choose to continue to load the file, and optionally trust all files by the publisher of the file being loaded. If no or an invalid digital signature is found, the user is informed that the program file might not be safe to load and execute.

Note: Plug-in packages placed in the %PROGRAMFILES%AutodeskApplicationPlugins folder on Windows are not checked for the presence of a digital signature.

Install Plug-in Packages

A package can be deployed using an installer, such as MSI, or manually copying the files and folder structure to the ApplicationPlugins or ApplicationAddins folder. For Autodesk Exchange app downloads, deployment of the package is done using an MSI installer on Windows.

Loading Plug-ins

By default, plug-ins are automatically registered with an AutoCAD-based product and when a new plug-in is installed during the current session. The load behavior for plug-ins is controlled with the APPAUTOLOAD system variable. When APPAUTOLOAD is set to 0, no plug-ins are loaded unless the APPAUTOLOADER command is used.

Uninstall Plug-in Packages

A package can be uninstalled by removing the appropriate folder with a .bundle extension from the ApplicationPlugins or ApplicationAddins folder. This can be accomplished by offering an uninstall option with the original installer or to manually delete the .bundle folder.

Note: A plug-in downloaded from the Autodesk Exchange Apps website can also be uninstalled by re-downloading the plug-in. When the download completes, you are prompted to uninstall the plug-in.

The safest place to get apps for your Mac is the App Store. Apple reviews each app in the App Store before it’s accepted and signs it to ensure that it hasn’t been tampered with or altered. If there’s ever a problem with an app, Apple can quickly remove it from the store.

If you download and install apps from the internet or directly from a developer, macOS continues to protect your Mac. When you install Mac apps, plug-ins, and installer packages from outside the App Store, macOS checks the Developer ID signature to verify that the software is from an identified developer and that it has not been altered. By default, macOS Catalina also requires software to be notarized, so you can be confident that the software you run on your Mac doesn't contain known malware. Before opening downloaded software for the first time, macOS requests your approval to make sure you aren’t misled into running software you didn’t expect.

Running software that hasn’t been signed and notarized may expose your computer and personal information to malware that can harm your Mac or compromise your privacy.

View the app security settings on your Mac

By default, the security and privacy preferences of your Mac are set to allow apps from the App Store and identified developers. For additional security, you can chose to allow only apps from the App Store.

In System Preferences, click Security & Privacy, then click General. Click the lock and enter your password to make changes. Select App Store under the header “Allow apps downloaded from.”

Open a developer-signed or notarized app

If your Mac is set to allow apps from the App Store and identified developers, the first time that you launch a new app, your Mac asks if you’re sure you want to open it.

An app that has been notarized by Apple indicates that Apple checked it for malicious software and none was detected:

Prior to macOS Catalina, opening an app that hasn't been notarized shows a yellow warning icon and asks if you're sure you want to open it:

If you see a warning message and can’t install an app

If you have set your Mac to allow apps only from the App Store and you try to install an app from elsewhere, your Mac will say that the app can't be opened because it was not downloaded from the App Store.*

If your Mac is set to allow apps from the App Store and identified developers, and you try to install an app that isn’t signed by an identified developer or—in macOS Catalina—notarized by Apple, you also see a warning that the app cannot be opened.

If you see this warning, it means that the app was not notarized, and Apple could not scan the app for known malicious software.

You may want to look for an updated version of the app in the App Store or look for an alternative app.

If macOS detects a malicious app

If macOS detects that an app has malicious content, it will notify you when you try to open it and ask you to move it to the Trash.

How to open an app that hasn’t been notarized or is from an unidentified developer

Mac App Bundle 2016 Crack

Running software that hasn’t been signed and notarized may expose your computer and personal information to malware that can harm your Mac or compromise your privacy. If you’re certain that an app you want to install is from a trustworthy source and hasn’t been tampered with, you can temporarily override your Mac security settings to open it.

In macOS Catalina and macOS Mojave, when an app fails to install because it hasn’t been notarized or is from an unidentified developer, it will appear in System Preferences > Security & Privacy, under the General tab. Click Open Anyway to confirm your intent to open or install the app.

The warning prompt reappears, and you can click Open.*

The app is now saved as an exception to your security settings, and you can open it in the future by double-clicking it, just as you can any authorized app.
