Building Plugins for Adobe Photoshop and XD using UXP
summary
Explains how to build real Photoshop and XD plugins with the UXP Developer Tools, register a manifest and map entry IDs, and load, watch and debug live so changes appear instantly — the sample plugin reads layers and enlarges a selected rectangle and works in both apps. Recommends webpack and React for larger apps, notes UXP provides Spectrum UI widgets, sandboxed privacy, partial video/no audio support, and that you can ship as a .ccx.
