Extension publishing : Registration of new accounts has been disabled.

[pmahend1]

I am developing XML formatter add in for Visual Studio for Mac.
I am in the process of bundling and publishing it. But the site is not letting me register. I tried to link my google account.

NOTICE

Registration of new accounts has been disabled.

Is there an alternative ?

@JoacimWall No. It looks like repo is inactive although Visual Studio for Mac is pretty much active. I just released the extension privately on my repo itself. I don't know who to contact now.

Hello Visual studio for Mac Team any response?
Is there any info regarding Visual studio 2022 will the current extension still work?
Will Visual studio 2022 solve this issue?

Hi I have followed that but nothing get release and no response from the email that is referens in the instructions.
I think this is only for user that has a account on the old mono dev portal(Where you signs upp for release extension, but this site has bin closed for more then a year now). So there has not bin a solution for publish new extensions for new users for more than a year now that is not a good solution.
