Hello,

This is my first time publishing a plugin and I have a question regarding using APIs that are unavailable in older versions but having a version gate in the plugin.

I added a check in the plugin to only allow using the ‘Reworked’ terminal if on >=2025.3.3.

Is that acceptable, or are plugins not allowed to version gate like that?

Most likely the Marketplace will consider your plugin broken for those versions as it will contain unresolved symbols. We suggest publishing a dedicated version for older IDEs instead
