AU Plugins - "can't open" - auvaltool

non-Apple AUs to be specific - they're there in /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components, but auvaltool says then can't be opened. Strange is that the version of auvaltool is still 1.6.1a1, so that's not changed.


output from auvaltool below for v2.2 of Omnisphere from Spectrasonics, but all non-Apple AU plugins are reporting this. Of course the Apple plug-ins are in the app package Logic Pro X itself and not in the directory above.


thinking perhaps this was a permissions issue, ran Disk First Aid but that didn't change anything.


previous command line options to repair permissions also not working on Sierra such as below:

To verify
Code:
sudo /usr/libexec/repair_packages --verify --standard-pkgs
To Repair:
Code:
sudo /usr/libexec/repair_packages --repair --standard-pkgs

Hi,

I have the same issue. I use JUCE 4.2.4 with XCode 7 (regularily updated) on OSX 10.10.5

Strange thing is, that the Apple Audio Units also fail with "Cannot get Component's name strings" and "didn't find the component".


I'm checking parallel the juce forum, don't know, if it's an apple or a juce issue:

https://forum.juce.com/t/au-problems-didnt-find-the-component/19417/3


Anybody has a solution or a hint what I need to check?

Thanks!

2013 - ouch...did you file a bug, yet?
