Inconsistency between plugin installer(.xdx) and plugin loading trough manifest.json (apologize if this is not the correct repo, please move to correct one if this is not the one)

Topic

Cannot install plugins with versioning containing letters

This is an issue regarding:

• [x] The tutorials contained within this repo.
• [x] The samples contained within this repo.

Versions

• [x] Supported XD version(s):

Description of the issue

When attempting to install a plugin from .xdx file, if the version contains chars( i.e beta01), the installer throws error -4 ( parse fail from manifest). Adding the plugin from the same .xdx - unzipping the plugin folder and adding it trough the UXP dev tools, the plugin installs correctly.

Proposed solution or attempted solutions that failed

Either allow characters to be recognized during .xdx install, or disable them in general from everywhere( as in UXP tools).
