Please use the latest development version (the pkg) (not yet notarized, so you have to use xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/JabRef.app afterwards We are planning a release shortly.

I had to use the DMG because of admin permissions, but when I updated the plugin JSON manually this build works. Thanks for sorting it out.
