MonoDevelop.AddinMaker is an extension ("addin") for Visual Studio for Mac and MonoDevelop that assists the creation and development of extensions for those IDEs.

There are two major pieces:

AddinMaker

The AddinMaker extension enables creating, loading, building and debugging extension projects from the IDE. It also includes features that assist developing extensions, such as code completion for manifests.

This extension can be installed from the Extension Gallery or built from source.

MonoDevelop.Addins Build NuGet

The addin build functionality is implemented in the MonoDevelop.Addins NuGet which is published on the NuGet gallery. AddinMaker automatically adds a reference to the NuGet to addin projects. It is generally advisable to keep this NuGet reference up-to-date in your project.
