Research direction

Start by reproducing the Composer installation and Mautic 4.2 compatibility problems described in the issue. Inspect the plugin dependency declaration, the mautic/composer-plugin requirement, and the GuzzleHttp\Psr7\parse_query call; done means the plugin installs through the recommended method and syncs without manual edits.

Description

Hello,

With the developer team we tried to install the "plugin-helloworld" to understand the creation of new plugins for Mautic.
Here is what we did:

  1. I first tried to install it via composer (the new recommended method), except that this plugin is not available on packagist.org
  2. Then I tried to install it by putting it locally next to the project and require it like that.
  3. But in its dependencies there is a line mautic/composer-plugin which is not compatible with composer2 (I deleted it)
  4. Then since I'm on a mautic in version 4.2, I have an error because the function GuzzleHttp\Psr7\parse_query doesn't exist anymore (I replaced it by the call to the method GuzzleHttp\Psr7\Query::parse)

With all these modifications the data sync seems to work.

I am taking the liberty of making this feedback because I think it is possible to simplify the installation and the handling of this "Hello World" plugin. What do you think about it?
