        @Oli-Ullmann said in HISE crashes when loading my project:

        6de7c97 is the commit since which it no longer works.

        Aha got it, I misunderstood. Yeah sounds like the same issue Dan had.

          Okay, I feel like a newbie!😅 But I can't get HISE configured.

          1. I deleted all HISE app data (from the Application Support folder).
          2. I compiled HISE from the source code.
          3. I set the HISE path in the settings.
          4. I open the Export Setup Wizard.
          5. The first 4 checkboxes are checked. However, the “Projucer Works” checkbox is not checked.

          This means that I cannot compile networks or plug-ins.

          Do I need to do anything differently or keep anything in mind with the new HISE version? Did you have this problem too, @DanH ?

            @Oli-Ullmann no! Can you run Projucer normally? I'm using Github desktop to pull in new commits rather than downloading a new Hise each time

              The export wizard is broken - it still looks at the old location so you cannot get past it at the moment. David already mentioned this but good reminder to fix that asap.

              You can easily skip it by setting the "Export Setup" flag to 1 in the HISE settings for now.

                    Okay, I clicked “Skip Wizard” in the Export Wizard. I hope that was the right thing to do. Now I'm trying to compile a very simple project. It only contains a sine wave generator. Unfortunately, I get the following error message:

                    @DanH Yes, I can open Projucer normally.

                      Looks like you've corrupted the project files somehow. Does this happen if you delete the entire Builds folder and try again?

                        I created a completely new project again, but unfortunately it still crashes. Here is the error report:

                          Yeah, that looks like something's off on your machine, the CI build is OK and compiles the test project on macOS.

                          Try pasting the compiler output into ChatGPT, it gives you a list of things to check. Whether this solves it or not, I don't know, could be anything from a weird project name to an invalid developer certificate.

                            All right, thank you very much. I'll start looking into it. :-)
                            Compiling has always worked so far, and I haven't changed anything in the system. I'll give you feedback when I find the error.

                              Okay, I always create a backup of the last working HISE version before compiling a new one. This one still works! Unfortunately, the commit is not displayed in HISE, but since I compiled it on December 21, 2025, I assume it is commit 6ba56cc. That is the last one that works for me.

                              Could it be that my xCode version is too old for the current HISE version?
                              I am working with xCode version 14.3.1 (14E300c).
