Projucer won’t open on latest Mac update

[kameron]

Projucer app that comes in the tools folder in the source code does not open on the latest Mac update.

I have followed all articles on this forum for this issue. I have allowed permission to all apps in my security settings. I have also deleted and re-downloaded the source code 5 different times through out the week. I then tried opening projucer on another Mac that is using Big Sur and the same issue occurred. I then created a new account on my Mac thinking maybe a fresh slate will do the trick. Same issue.

When I download projucer from JUCE that seems to work fine. But as I read in another article, the one that comes with the source code is edited specifically for HISE.

Is anyone else on the latest Mac updates experiencing these problems?

@kameron I'm also not able to launch the projucer file that comes with the source code, so I use the latest Projucer from JUCE and it's working fine here.
I'm on Mac OS 10.14.6

I faced same problem....
Recompile the source code of projucer 5.4.x that comes with HISE ...don't open projucer.app directly (that comes with HISE)

Now Projucer 5.4 is working on both of my Mac Catalina and BigSur OS.

[hisefilo]

That's the way. Macos requires signed apps since Catalina. Locally compiled apps bypasses this requirement

[ulrik]

@hisefilo I'm on Mojave and it still doesn't launch

[hisefilo]

@ulrik try allowing "Apps from unknown developers" in Security control panel

[ulrik]

@hisefilo I don't think that is the issue, when trying to launch projucer I'll get the message "Projucer" is broken and can not be opened

[hisefilo]

@ulrik mmm. Then just a local compilation will help I guess. I also get this error when switching branches on git. Executables get corrupted some times

@Tania-Ghosh what version of xcode do you have with bigsur?

[Simon]

Same issue here. I'm not quite sure where to get started building the projucer, any tips?

[hisefilo]

@Zorpley [Hise source folder]/JUCE/extras/Projucer/Projucer.jucer

[Simon]

That was the first thing I tried, but ran into "error reading" errors in xCode and assumed I must be doing something wrong.

I opened that .jucer in Juce 5.4.7 and building with Xcode 11, which throws

Error reading 'HISE-scriptnode/JUCE/extras/Projucer/Source/Application/jucer_AutoUpdater.cpp'
and
Error reading 'HISE-scriptnode/JUCE/extras/Projucer/Source/Application/jucer_CommandLine.cpp'

Both files are definitely there in the correct locations. Any ideas?

[Simon]

Ah it's a permissions thing. If you go into settings and allow full disk access to either Xcode or Projucer (I just enabled both), it builds and opens properly.

[Tania Ghosh]

@yall Xcode 11

[yall]

@Tania-Ghosh Okay. i wait for xcode 12. the universal binary option will allow audio units to work with logic pro under mac m1. it is not possible otherwise

Type this into the Terminal

xattr -cr

after the "cr" press space button then drag and drop the Projucer app file into the Terminal. Press enter. This will deactivate Gatekeeper for Projucer and it will work.

@orange Thank you, it works :)
