@tjrob The .vst3 is a bundle (a folder with other files in it) but you don't need to open that folder or touch any of the files inside. Just place the .vst3 file in correct location for your OS: https://helpcenter.steinberg.de/hc/en-us/articles/115000171310-VST-plug-in-locations-on-Mac-OS-X-and-macOS

That shortcut takes you to the project's App Data folder. This folder is created when you compile and run your plugin. It's used to store plugin data files on the end-user's system. It's unrelated to your HISE project folder.

@tjrob You're trying to compile the latest commit of HISE which is failing in CI.

You need to check which commit is the latest passing commit and compile from that.
