Find My Friends

Is anyone else missing the Find My Friends widget in the today view in notification center? I don't seem to have find my friends in El Capitan. Anyone know where I can find it?


Thanks 😕

I executed the command cockscomb suggested, but I had to use sudo to make it work. I also had to leave off the -a.


So the command I ran in Terminal looked like this:

  open /System/Library/Frameworks/NotificationCenter.framework/PlugIns/com.apple.ncplugin.FindMyFriends.appex


After I ran it, a small window appeared in the middle of the screen that basically looked like part of NotificationCenter had opened up there. I had to close it before NotificationCenter would open properly. But after that the Find My Friends widget was in the list (where it should have been all along), and then I was able to add it to my list of Today widgets.

Looks like we are missing a file :

com.apple.ncplugin.FindMyFriends.appex


I got an email from someone ( cockscomb ) who posted a terminal input but I guess it got deleted here. I used his string to find the folder and verified the missing file. The rest were in there.

System/

Library
/

Frameworks/

NotificationCenter.framework/

PlugIns/

com.apple.ncplugin.FindMyFriends.appex ... the missing file. Maybe I can find it some where...

This totally worked for me. Doing the command

sudo open /System/Library/Frameworks/NotificationCenter.framework/PlugIns/com.apple.ncplu gin.FindMyFriends.appex

Then the widget appeared in a window. After that I opened the notification center and it was there. After that I closed the window and the widget stayed there.

I have no idea why this happened, but thanks.
