Cannot install binexport on ghidra 11.3.1

[jackhax]

I downloaded the binexport-mac.zip file from the BinExport releases page, but when I try to install the extension in Ghidra, the zip file does not show up in the explorer after clicking the add extension button.

Steps to Reproduce:

Download BinExport-macOS.zip Open Ghidra and navigate to File > Install Extension. The BinExport extension does not show up in the list.

Expected Behavior: The BinExport zip should be listed for installation.

Environment:

Ghidra Version: 11.3.1 OS: macOS

This is likely due to the extension.properties file not being updated.

Can you try the Ghidra build from a recent workflow run (here)?

The binary is at: https://github.com/google/binexport/actions/runs/13498008553/artifacts/2640905696

Thanks for the suggestion! I tried loading the binary from the link you provided, but unfortunately, the extension still doesn't show up in Ghidra.

There seems to be an inconsitency between how MacOS and Linux handles adding extensions on Ghidra as the zip files appear on Linux but on my Macbook the zip file didn't appear.

The way I fixed it on MacOS was to simply extract the zip file and choose the extracted folder after clicking on "Add Extension" button and it will install it. Extensions seems to appear in Ghidra afterwards.
