How to migrate your plugins without Visual Studio extension

Plugin manifest changes

Studio 2021 provides a tight integration to the AppStore and will allow users to install/uninstall plugins directly from Studio. Because of this it's mandatory for the pluginpackage.manifest.xml file to have following data:
- Plugin name. Please make sure the plugin name is added in the manifest file
- Version. Please make sure the version of the plugin does not contain any words in it ( example of correct format: 1.0.0.0) and that it's higher than 2019 plugin version.
- MinVersion 16.0. Please make sure that the minversion is set to "16.0" (If for example you make a mistake and set the version to 16, then in visual studio an error will appear.

Target Framework changes
The Project .Net Framework needs to be changed to 4.8. Right click on the project -> Properties -> Application-> Target framework
package.config changes
Right click on package.config file -> "Migrate to PackageReference".
Sdl.Core.PluginFramework and Sdl.Core.PluginFramework.Build Nuget update

<PluginDeploymentPath>$(AppData)\Sdl\Sdl Trados Studio\16\Plugins</PluginDeploymentPath>

Make sure all the Studio references point to the Studio16 folder:

<HintPath>$(ProgramFiles)\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\Studio16\Sdl.Desktop.IntegrationApi.dll</HintPath>

Reload the project and build the solution. If the following error appears:

Make sure SDL.Core.PluginFramework Nuget is installed. If it's not installed then please install it:
