      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).

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

                  I assume it is commit 6ba56cc.

                  Compile it and see ;)

                    Okay, I cloned HISE again with git clone https://github.com/christophhart/HISE.git then switched to the corresponding commit with git reset --hard 6ba56cc and recompiled HISE. (I used git clone without the new commands because I don't need the JUCE 8 elements for the old commit.)

                    HISE still does not show me any commit information. When I enter git commit in the console, I only see the following text: Your branch is behind 'origin/develop' by 80 commits.

                    Maybe this is because Christoph created an initial commit on January 8.

                    Anyway, everything works with the commit 6ba56cc. With later commits, I can no longer compile plug-ins from HISE. I have no idea why this is and can only assume that it might be due to my xCode version. Because the xCode projects created with the current HISE version cannot be opened with xCode.

                    So maybe I should update it. Which xCode version are you using, Dave?

                      @Oli-Ullmann I'm not sure which one I'm using at the moment, just try the latest one supported by your OS version: https://xcodereleases.com/
