Hi,

An audio plug-in Projucer project I want to be deployed to iOS as both a standalone app and AUv3. When I exclusively select Standalone in the Plugin Formats list, the standalone plug-in scheme appears in XCode. But when I select both Standalone and AUv3 in the Plugin Formats list, only the AUv3 scheme appears and the Standalone scheme has disappeared.

Is this intentional behaviour or a bug?

I’m running JUCE 8.0.1 with Xcode 15.4.

Best,

Jelle

Similar issues have been reported previously:

> Hi, This only happens on my MacBook Air (M1, Ventura 13.2.1). Even though “Standalone” is checked in the “Plugin Formats” setting in the Projucer, the corresponding scheme doesn’t appear in Xcode (14.2). Using latest tip on develop. Thanks for your help.

I believe when we’ve investigated this previously, the issue has appeared to be caused by a bug in Xcode itself. Occasionally, I’ll see similar behaviour in CMake-generated Xcode projects where schemes will go missing after quitting and reopening the project.

As a workaround, you should be able to add a new scheme in Xcode that builds the Standalone target if necessary.

@reuk  
Thanks for the reply.

I noticed when I save and open Xcode from the Projucer using the Xcode button at the top I get this problem consistently. When I save Xcode first (using cmd + P) and open the Xcode project from the Finder, the scheme appears and the problem is resolved.

I’ve been seeing this issue a lot and have concluded it’s an Xcode problem. It’s usually solved by exporting from Projucer once, then closing the Xcode window and re-opening the project from Xcode’s Open Recent menu, although you may need to repeat this closing and re-opening a few times.
