Addins installed from .pkg from Fusion Appstore don't show in Fusion (they are put in the wrong place)

Hi,
I have for some time not been able to see addins downloaded from the Fusion app store and installed using .pkg installers on Mac.
Procedure I've been using:
- download .pkg addins from App store
- run package installer
- Open Fusion
- = addins are not showing up. Opening the addins or scripts folders from within Fusion reveals that the installed addins do not show up in this default location.
This is of course rather confusing and limiting, and I suggest we get a fix for this 🙂
Workaround:
I have tracked down where the installers are putting the addin bundles. They go into:
~/Library/Containers/com.autodesk.mas.fusion360/Data/Library/Application Support/Autodesk/ApplicationPlugins/NameOfAddin.bundle
So addins can be made visible to the Fusion installation by moving them manually to
~/Library/Application Support/Autodesk/ApplicationPlugins/
I have experienced this with the following addins (and probably some more) :
- Any Shortcut
- Mapboards Pro
- Paramteric Text
Platform: MacOS (M1 Pro) Monterey 12.1
