I am expecting to see something like that:
I am not able to import an image and start to add bones: -
Maybe it is missing the animation editor - the skeletal animation editor?
I can’t see at version 1.0 neither at 2.0
I have checked on a windows 8 too, same issue.
It seems others has the same issue: CocosStudio 2.0 Animation Editor
I am total noob at Cocos, maybe I am doing completely wrong, pls help.
2.0 version is still in beta, not really recommended for production use. the tutorials are all based on 1.6 version which is windows only. 
I just want to make a little, simple 2D skeletal animation with allows me to read the part of the slices from a png file and make my skeleton and move some bones: Head, neck, torso, legs arms, maybe somo other objects, like gun, or other items in hand.
The Editor should allow shape transforms and should has Inverse Kinematics and it generates and Android NDK, C code which plays it in OpenGL, maybe iPhone support, but can’t find any, and searching webpages watching tutorials like 4 or 6 th week.
Spine is to expensive for me with they 230+ usd and must use they runner, doesn’t generate runnable, native code.
Spriter has other issue.
Sprite Builder for Android is in Beta and it will not be free.
I was hooping on this, integrated with Cocos 2D-x, but no luck.
I don’t have the knowledge (yet) how to write a good skeletal animation runner code, for OpenGL - for 2D canvas maybe I could… if I would write the editor.
I would be very happy if I would find the a simple editor, but it seems the best option it is to learn the Blender and make there 2D objects, paint they texture, make animation: run, shot, jump, die, export to some binary format and write a parser , a C code generator for that, but that has a huge learning curve and lot of work.
Unity for 4500 usd it isn’t reasonable for me: pro+android+ios, neither pro+android for 3000 usd and aI don’t want they splash screen
Any idea? - maybe I missed something? - a library, a framework?
If you have windows, you can try
Cocos Studio 1.6, have skeleton animation that works
http://www.cocos2d-x.org/filedown/CocosStudio_v1.6.0.0.exe
And you can find the code to load and playback the animation in one of the test case in cocos2d
Thanks.
I am thinking how really open source it is, since the Animation editor is removed from CocoStudio and the Cocos2D-X website point to Spine, which do the same, but for payment…

Animation Editors
Spine for flipbook and skeleton animations
Maybe tomorrow the Spine will ask for 1500 usd too, and why not?! - since a whole community is redirected there.
If you don’t have windows you can get a 30 day trial of VMWare Fusion and a 90 day trial of Windows 8.1 Enterprise.
can i ask a favor. Do you have v1.6 for mac?
I think the Mac OS version started at 2.0 and never had the animation editor.
The animation editor has released in the latest version.
