Hello, the bot is confused by the __MACOSX folder. Putting only the extension json file in the archive will solve the issue.

👋 Hey @baldieandbaldie-commits, thanks for your submission! Unfortunately, all submitted extensions have to meet some minimal quality standard - the extension best practices - and our system has found that your extension does not fully comply 😔. You can find all of those rules on the GDevelop wiki.

The following issues have been found by the system concerning the respect of those best practices by your extension:

  ⟶ ❌ [Dots in sentences]: Field 'sentence' of the function 'UpdateFoliageSwaying' has a dot, but it is forbidden there!
  ⟶ ❌ [Dots in sentences]: Field 'description' of the function 'UpdateFoliageSwaying' misses a dot at the end of the sentence!
  ⟶ ❌ [Dots in sentences]: Field 'sentence' of the function 'SetWindGust' has a dot, but it is forbidden there!
  ⟶ ❌ [Dots in sentences]: Field 'description' of the function 'SetWindGust' misses a dot at the end of the sentence!
  ⟶ ❌ [Dots in sentences]: Field 'description' of the behavior 'FoliageSwaying' misses a dot at the end of the sentence!
  ⟶ ❌ [Extension name consistency]: Extension filename should be exactly the name of the extension (with .json extension). Please rename 'NatureElementsExtension.json' to 'NatureElements.json'.

Please update your original submission post with a new zip file containing your extensions updated to follow those guidelines 🙏
