Plugins compiled with Sonoma/Xcode15 crash when loaded in Mojave & Catalina

[modularsamples]

Apologies for adding to the seemingly endless Mac posts around here, but this doesn't seem to have come up before as far as I can tell. Sometimes I think Apple don't really want people making software for their OS..

The title mostly covers it. Here's what I've found:

Plugin compiled with Sonoma/Xcode15:

Sonoma - Works
Ventura - Works
Mojave - Crashes
Catalina - Crashes (according to 3rd party report)

Plugins compiled with Ventura/Xcode 14 work on all the OS listed above. Crash report from Live running on Mojave below.

Are you testing the different OS on the same hardware?

[modularsamples]

@d-healey No. Each is running on separate machine. Sonoma on a 2023 Mac mini, Ventura on an 2018 MBP & Mojave on an 2012 iMac.

Has anyone else experienced this? It could be some poorly configured thing my end that I've mistaken for a bug (wouldn't be the first time!).

[d.healey]

Could it be that you only compiled an ARM binary and the Sonoma and Ventura machines are M1/M2 while the other machines are Intel?

Ah that can't be it, M1 wasn't until 2020...

Setup some VMs and see if you get similar results.

@d-healey Good idea, thanks. Will report back.

Setup a Sonoma VM with a clean install of Xcode and HISE. Complied plugin works fine on earlier OS'. Turns out I hadn't updated Xcode since the initial 15.0 release.

The only bug is in my brain (and earlier versions of xcode).

@modularsamples VMs are great :D
