Strange - Vanilla AU not passing auval

FATAL ERROR: didn’t find the component

This error message is telling, that auval couldn’t load the plugin at all, so it could be any reason. You will get the same message when you search for phantasy names as well.

I think you are suffering from the same problem described in this thread:

Installing new Audio Units requires restart in High Sierra

Since macOS High Sierra, installing Audio Unit plugins seems to always requires a restart (or at least a re-login) before hosts see them. Even though we noticed it for all plugins we checked, some folks report that “some AUs require restart, some don’t”. Does anyone know more about this? Is there any special juice required for new AUs to be listed? If so perhaps this juice could be incorporated into JUCE? Is there something new that installers need to do?

So does the problem persist, if you restart the system? If not there is nothing you can do than send prayers to apple to fix that…
