With JUCE 7.0.10, the exported Xcode project has this in the Plugin Copy Step in its AU target:
ln -sfhv "${TARGET_BUILD_DIR}/${FULL_PRODUCT_NAME}" "$HOME/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/"
This creates a symlink in the Components directory. But the plugin does not load when it is referenced by a symlink, at least not in Ableton.
When I go back to JUCE 7.0.9, the Plugin Copy Step uses cp
instead of ln
, and that works so I am back in business.
