This looks great, thank you! I guess that the process can be applied to Hise Sampler made plugins too. Hopefully, it is.

@SampleScience plugins (no matter how they are built) dont need to be notorized, just codesigned.

@Lindon Mate
Can You Do A Tutorial Or Some Step By Steps Guides?
Thanks

[Lindon]

@Natanr many many people have already pointed at the tutorial:

@Lindon to codesign i also need Apple Dev Account yes?

[Lindon]

@arminh yes. You need an apple Dev ID and password. You need to code sign all your plug-ins and notarize your installers.

@Lindon I don't remember... Is it mandatory to make the whole process with Catalina or is it doable in a previous OS? (I don't want to update my main working station right now but just the MacBook) Lazy to search today :)

[Lindon]

@ustk I'm no expert but my understanding is that you dont need to be on Catalina at any point in the process, just you need to code sign/notarize as required so your work will run on Catalina.

Does anyone know if plugins made for Catalina (signed) will work with previous versions of macOS? If so, how far in previous versions will it work? I see that Audio Damage supports 10.9 Mavericks or newer and I wonder how they are knowing it for sure.

@SampleScience

In our plugins, I've just tested down to the Mavericks too. The plugins were signed and installer was notarized in Mojave and they work down to Mavericks.

Also probably, they should work down to a couple of level older versions too.

[Christoph Hart]

AFAIK 10.7 is the oldest supported macOS version

Do you test using macOS Mavericks on virtualbox?

[orange]

@SampleScience no, directly in the Operating system, without virtual box.

So you keep the old version, how do you know your plugins work on the newer versions of macOS?

I'm asking because the vast majority of support requests I get are from macOS users who have compatibility problems. There are never any problems with Windows versions of my plugins, but for the moment I use Maize Sampler.

With Maize Sampler you have to align the version of macOS with a specific version of Maize (use the version of Maize that was out at the same time as the version of macOS), otherwise, you get problems.

I'm trying to switch to Hise but I'm having a different set of problems with it (mostly export and project management issues).

You aren't limited for installing only one operating system in each computer. I've installed 4 macOS versions in my mac computer. So when I lunch the computer, I select the one that I want to use.

I didn't know you could do this with macOS, I thought it was only possible with Windows and Linux. Thank you for your answer!

[orange]

@SampleScience Yeah of course you can do it.

• Just create a partition in your main hard drive with disc utility.
• Then install the OS into the new partition
• When you open the mac, hold the "alt / option" key, then select the desired version

@SampleScience I have MacOS, Windows 10, and Linux Mint, all installed on my Mac Mini :)
