I tried to follow that but it doesn’t install the Auv3 (Mac), the Standalone-app (Mac) is working fine and if I look in the folder of the App, the appex is in there. But if I open Ableton or Logic it dosen’t show the Plugin (I know Ableton can’t run AUv3s but they are listed under AUs anyways, the just can’t be opened). Do AUv3s have to be signed or anything like that?
Or is it a problem if I do both v2 and v3?
If it’s not showing up at all, perhaps it failed to register. Try running killall -9 AudioComponentRegistrar in a Terminal, and then reopen the standalone. Then, run auval -al from the Terminal, and check the output to see whether your AUv3 is mentioned (it should have your plugin’s name, and an “unknown location”). If the plugin doesn’t show up, then there’s probably an issue with the app/appex bundles.
If the plugin shows up in the auval output, then make a note of the plugin’s identifier codes (three four-letter groups). Then, pass these to auval -v <identifier codes> and check that validation succeeds. If validation fails, your plugin will be disabled for your safety and you’ll need to fix the validation issues before it can be used.
If validation is successful, then the plugin should be usable in DAWs like Logic and the AudioPluginHost.
It’s not in the list. But XCode gives me an issue
Nomonyx Devolop - AUv3 AppExtension isn’t code signed but requires entitlements. It is not possible to add entitlements to a binary without signing it.
So for me it looks like it only works if it is signed? Or are there any requirements for the GUI (as far as I know at least AUv3 for iOS have those, right?).
Sry if these are stupid questions, just stumbled upon that post and thought wouldn’t be a bad idea to add AUv3 support, too.^^
For testing, you should be able to set the Signing Certificate to “Sign to run locally” in the “Signing & Capabilities” settings page for the AUv3 and Standalone targets. For distribution, you’ll need to use a suitable certificate. You could try enabling signing and check whether that allows your AUv3 to be found.
Also, make sure you’re using Terminal.app when running auval. For some reason, other terminals sometimes have difficulties detecting non-apple plugins.
Thanks a lot. That worked.
Hi Reuk,
Thanks for your valuable comments in this thread and the other threads. I have been following those and could resolve many problems on my own.
But here I am stuck, I require your help in getting my AUv3 plugin registered in the macOS system.
My AUv3 plugin does not get registered if the number of input or output channels are more than 2. However same implementation work for AUv2.
I have tried N number of things, but nothing worked, could you please suggest how should I go about it?
Including Projucer settings,

You should define the outputs and input’s in the code if you have a special channel configuration and remove the one in Projucer. You can also see this in the following tutorial:
https://docs.juce.com/master/tutorial_plugin_examples.html
I don’t know any DAW that supports 3 input and 3 output channels. You need to tell the host what kind of channels they are. For normal plugins, you may decide between stereo and mono channels. You can configure this in the method isBusesLayoutSupported.
This looks like a bug in the AUv3 wrapper. I have a potential fix on the way.

If the fix is simple could you post it here?
