Extension as dependencies

There is a Dependency tab already when we edit the Extension properties. But i’m not talking about this one.
I’m talking about a new one !

GDevelop contains a good variety of extensions, and as a developer, it could be nice if we didn’t have to copy/paste the work of others when we require some of their extensions features.

Example:

  • I need to Encrypt a text with MD5
  • There already exists an Encryption extension
  • So i could use it, and add it as a dependency of my own extension

And if creators want to use my extension, the Installer will download both (respecting versionning and so on…)
This should also prevent Extension deletion for preventing missing dependencies
