Revit addin Identity Problem during debugging unsigned addi

[info4UZZZ]

Hi all

I'm facing a tedious problem.

During my addin development cycle normally I point my manifest file to the bin/x64/Debug/addin_to_debug.dll. Start debugging from VIsualStudio, Revit open, say that addin is not signed, I press load anyway and all is good.

Recently with both Revit 2022 and 2023 I'm incapable to proceed any further, the addin isn't loaded and all I got is this message.

I try to put addin both using a bundle inside ApplicationPlugins and in %AppData%/Autodesk/Revit/Addins/2023 but nothing change. All I got is an API Error inside the journal (see the attached file error for Superconsulting).

Uninstall Revit, delete all folders&regkey, reinstall Revit doesn't have any effect.

Any suggestion is more than welcome.

I would like to understand how is possible to investigate further to understand and solve this problem.

Thanks

Paolo

In your journal file, I see:

What is CubintoForRevit?

It's another addin.

I was doing some testing. Anyway I attached the journal after CubintoForRevit was uninstalled.

Strange thing, CubintoForRevit has a couple of ShowMessage inside of StartUp, they works correctly but also this plugin was blocked in the end. I was also been able to connect with debugger in this case.

I ended up here: RevitManagedAppStartupAgency.cs

Can you suggest a simple RevitAddin, a sample, to use for testing?

Thanks

Yes, sure. Try making a minimal skeleton add-in yourself from scratch, e.g., following the official hello world sample from the developers guide:

• https://help.autodesk.com/view/RVT/2024/ENU/?guid=Revit_API_Revit_API_Developers_Guide_Introduction_...

It makes no difference what language you use, .NET and the Revit API are language agnostic, they just care about the IL code you pass in.

Thanks, I will try during this morning
