How do you debug VST/AU not showing up for Mac user?
Without hiring additional developers I think what I’ve suspected from just reading the headline is the actual reason you’re getting many reports
Inspecting your binaries:
Load command 7
cmd LC_VERSION_MIN_MACOSX
cmdsize 16
version 10.11
sdk 10.11
Summary:
Anyone with macOS below 10.11 will fail to get your plug-ins up and running!
Simply, set your .jucer project to target 10.7 if you want the broader libc++ capable minimal target.
Also, add Minimum Requirements to your page. users might still bug you even if they’re not within the required specs but it will get off some users
Cool plug!
uggh really, I thought I switched that because at first the plugin wasn’t even loading on my mac! So I switched to 10.7 then it started working. Also a 10.12 user reported it wasn’t working.
I don’t see how in the jucer to target a different mac version.
In any case it would be nice to have a developer on hand for future projects.
Edit: Why is “TARGETS (All)” still set to 10.11?
Well, I quadruple checked to ensure it was set to 10.9 this time (10.8 doesn’t support std::function), and that solved the issue. I’ll see if I can get rid of std::function moving forward.
Anticipating the same problem on my projects, I searched for this setting. I couldn’t find it. Can you hint where it was located?
I have my Deployment Target set to 10.7 & std::function works fine(?). Perhaps you need to change your C++ Language/Library settings?
oh thanks ill try that.
We have recently added an OS X 10.5 compatible std::function replacement, which will only be used on older version of OS X, so you’re now free to use std::function everywhere without breaking compatibility.
you can do that? haha wow ok.
Why not? std::function is just a library class.
How do you debug a vst not showing up for someone on mac?
@Elan_Hickler I’d first try and get their crash logs available from Utilties/Console.app (User Reports).
In addition suggesting rescan and knowing how to rescan per each host is vital since many hosts once they mark a plug-in don’t provide an easy way to rescan it.
Could you explain a little bit more? I am not a mac user so I have no idea. You open Console.app, then what? Is there a log file called “User Reports”?
Would you mind either starting a new thread or renaming that one? This thread keeps popping up and is not a bit related to the title…
Thanks.
done.
Thanks. Sorry for bothering
