LOGIC: version invalid on built plugins in Plugin Manager

[tomekslesicki]

@DanH @Christoph-Hart all I can say is that I'm sure the problem wasn't there before the new layout.

[d.healey]

I haven't come across this problem with any of my AUi builds, but could this be related?

[tomekslesicki]

@d-healey I'll check that in a moment - how can I get there in Projucer?

[d.healey]

@tomekslesicki Click the cog icon

[tomekslesicki]

@d-healey nah, it's not that. In Projucer, the version number is correct. Engine.getVersionNumber gets a correct value, too. It's just that Logic and AUval don't understand it.

[DanH]

@tomekslesicki yes same here. Logic says 'Invalid' under version number on all my recent exports and the Dorian Marko Piano. The projucer projects are fine though.

[d.healey]

@DanH said in LOGIC: version invalid on built plugins in Plugin Manager:

Logic says 'Invalid' under version number

Where do you see this? I'm going to check mine.

[tomekslesicki]

@d-healey in the Plugin Manager. But when you'll run auval like this:

auval -v aufx plugincode companycode

...you'll see version number as 0.0.0. You might have to change the aufx to something else, I'm running this on an FX plugin for a moment but for instruments it's going to have a different class here.

Plugin code is the 4-letter code in HISE, company code too.

[tomekslesicki]

@d-healey you can also run

auval -a

and it will list all installed plugins, giving you both the au type and other info

[Christoph Hart]

@tomekslesicki Hmm, might have been broken with the JUCE 6 update.

I'll take a look next week.

[tomekslesicki]

@Christoph-Hart thanks!

[d.healey]

I'm getting the same result with my AU instrument plugin.

[tomekslesicki]

Just to add to this: the plist included in the .component file seems to have the proper version number (as set in HISE) but Logic doesn’t seem to care.

It’s on unviersal binaries, if it matters, but then I’m not sure if anybody would want to export non-M1 native at this point anyway ;-)

[DanH]

@tomekslesicki It's on non-universal binaries too

[DanH]

@Christoph-Hart did you manage to take a look at this this week?

[tomekslesicki]

@Christoph-Hart it would be great to have this fixed!

[tomekslesicki]

Ok, I have some more intel. I updated XCode to 13.4 and macOS to 12.4 and things are both better and worse. The worse first: when I build the plugin, I get this:

❌  clang: error: unable to execute command: Abort trap: 6



❌  clang: error: linker command failed due to signal (use -v to see invocation)

I can't build the latest develop version of HISE either but I'm just using my backup copy from April 24th.

Now the good part: if I open the autogenerated Jucer file and build it for Native Architecture Of Build Machine, it builds fine AND the plugin version is displayed correctly in auval at last!

...but I guess the Native Architecture Of Build Machine is M1 only and won't work on Intel macs, right? Because my mac is M1 so that would kind of make sense?

@Christoph-Hart @d-healey

[d.healey]

@tomekslesicki Looks very similar to this error I was getting (on my Intel Mac Mini). My solution was to roll back to an earlier version of Xcode.

[Casey Kolb]

Running into this issue as well. Starting to get complaints from Logic users because it has to rescan the plugin every time due to the version being “invalid”

[DanH]

@Casey-Kolb All I could find online so far: https://forum.juce.com/t/au-plugin-version-in-logic-pro-x/46992/4

Would be great to get this fixed :)
