  1. UXP, InDesign: WebView postMessage does not work in 20.4

  2. [ID-4265726]Error during shutdown UXP plugin (InDesign 20.4.1)

    If you try to access indesign.app when shutting down a plugin, an error is thrown and causes InDesign to freeze. Specifically, in the lifecycle hook »hide« and »destroy«.

    The error occurred with version 20.4.1

    Exception: Error: Shutting down in progress, can't process! at Object.cleanup (/Users/<username>/Desktop/UXP-Panel-Dummy/pkg/panel/hide.js:26:24) at ./main.js:58:31 at new Promise (<anonymous>) at e.exports.hide (./main.js:57:16) at e.exports.destroyPanel (uxp://uxp-internal/pluginmanagerscripts.js:2:38052)
    app: Application {conditionalTextPreferences: undefined}
    docCount: <unreadable>

    1: Load plugin in UDT
    2. Unload plugin in UDT

  3. TypeScript Definitions for InDesign UXP

    Do we have an ETA on when we should expect TypeScript Definition files for UXP in InDesign?

    Currently both Photoshop and Premiere Pro have auto-generated types from their respective teams. This is really crucial for UXP adoption and reliable development.
