I have a late 2011 model Macbook Pro and I just upgraded to El Capitan. Many of the articles I have found online discuss the Find My Friends widget in the Notification Center. When I show Notification Center and click "edit", I don't see "Find My Friends" in the list of widgets I can add. What gives? Why is it missing?
MacBook Pro (15-inch Late 2011), OS X El Capitan (10.11)
Hey, I have the same problem! I also go to /System/Library/Frameworks/NotificationCenter.framework/ and find Find My Friends in the folder of Plugins.
But I still can add Find My Friends to Notification Center. Any way to fix it? Thank you very much!

I had this problem too and found this by searching.
Opening the PlugIns folder shown above by Vicky2885 and double clicking each icon brought them up in Widget Simulator. That seems to have fixed it. You might have to open Notification Center while one widget is running in the simulator (in my case I did it with Find My Friends). Now all widgets show up as available again in my Notification Center.
For me everything worked in 10.11.0 (I even had the Find My Friends widget added), but disappeared when I upgraded to 10.11.1, so I suppose there is some kind of bug which causes these widgets to become unavailable/hidden.
It appears that this is resolved after upgrading to 10.11.1. Not sure if it will fix the issue for others. It was not listed as one of the fixes in the latest update, but I am sure they do not list every fix.
Thank you!! That worked!
How do I get the Find My Friends widget in El Capitan?
