Exporting as VSTi/AUi on M1

[JL.LV]

Hello everyone.

Has anyone here successfully exported as a VSTi/AUi plugin?
I am encountering errors when I do so on my M1.

Are there any special considerations I have to take into account when exporting my plugins on an M1?

I am compiling from a version of HISE that is not using IPP, I don't know if this might have something to do with that

@jl-lv Definitely don't want to use IPP on M1 so that's good. Which branch are you building?

I'm exporting plugs on my M1 mac mini just fine on this end.

@jl-lv Which version of Xcode?

[JL.LV]

@d-healey Right now, im using the develop branch

@dustbro Do you have to have an M1 machine to export native plugins for M1 / Apple Silicon?

[dustbro]

@DanH Nope! You can create Universal Binaries from Intel Mac.

[DanH]

@dustbro oh great What's the process?

[d.healey]

@DanH

oh great What's the process?

Just export like usual and it will automatically create a universal binary - assuming you're on develop branch and on xcode 12+

@d-healey ah xcode 12 is the missing link. Do you know if I can use it on mojave?

I don't think, but I'm no Apple expert. Here are the docs - https://developer.apple.com/documentation/apple-silicon/building-a-universal-macos-binary

Actually those docs aren't too useful for us, just check the app store and see if xcode 12.2 or higher is available.
