| # Simple Utility Script for allowing debug of hardened macOS apps. | |
| # This is useful mostly for plug-in developer that would like keep developing without turning SIP off. | |
| # Credit for idea goes to (McMartin): https://forum.juce.com/t/apple-gatekeeper-notarised-distributables/29952/57?u=ttg | |
| # Update 2022-03-10: Based on Fabian's feedback, add capability to inject DYLD for sanitizers. | |
| # | |
| # Please note: | |
| # - Modern Logic (on M1s) uses `AUHostingService` which resides within the system thus not patchable and REQUIRES to turn-off SIP. | |
| # - Some hosts uses separate plug-in scanning or sandboxing. | |
| # if that's the case, it's required to patch those (if needed) and attach debugger to them instead. | |
| # | |
| # If you see `operation not permitted`, make sure the calling process has Full Disk Access. | |
| # For example Terminal.app is showing and has Full Disk Access under System Preferences -> Privacy & Security | |
| # | |

May I suggest also adding the com.apple.security.cs.allow-dyld-environment-variables entitlement. This way you can also debug plug-ins built with address sanitizer by adding
export DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/lib/clang/13.0.0/lib/darwin/libclang_rt.asan_osx_dynamic.dylib
to your environment variables. Without this entitlement, any environment variables starting with DYLD_ are ignored.
Thanks @hogliux I've updated the script above.
Semantics, I guess it's not only AUs but any dylib (VST/VST3 included) :) but it's indeed useful.

Yes you are totally right. I've updated my comment just now.
@talaviram The update to your script is incorrect. It's missing the bool true at the end of the PListBuddy command.
ahh. sorry for that. fixed.
Thanks for creating this tool! Unfortunately it doesn't work for me. I have MacBook with M1, I've tried running the script on Sudio One 4 and disabling the SIP in order to Debug VST3 audio plugin. I see that entitlements are added, but it has no effect. Only when I build the Release version of audioplugin the Studio One sees it.
@mpielikis - I suspect your issue isn't related to script. Maybe release builds universal but debug only arm64? S1 v4 was never released as Apple silicon.
Also the script allow debug but isn't related to host scanning.
Thanks! This worked nicely for me with the Steinberg VST3PluginTestHost, using my arm64 MacBook Pro on Monterey👌🏻
Does anyone know if this works for auval?
I copied auval to a user dir and applied the script to it but running it just reports instantly it has been killed.
Does anyone know if this works for auval?
Sadly, auval archs are x86_64 and arm64e. The e in the arm64e is the tricky part... it means there is pointer authentication so re-applying codesign won't work.
So you can use auval but only under Rosetta. (or.. disable SIP sigh)
Oof.... !
Thanks for the info.
Apple really don't want us to develop solid plugins do they?!
Signing fails on Ventura. /Applications/Ableton Live 11 Suite.app: resource fork, Finder information, or similar detritus not allowed codesign failed!

TL;DR - xattr -rc
totally missed that. It worked. Thanks!
Worked beautifully for me on an M1 mac. Thanks!
It doesn't seem to work anymore with Ableton Live 12 (release version) :'(

It'll be helpful to have more details.
Anyway, I don't have Live 12 but the trial version allows re-signing just fine...

Removing temporary plist...
Ah sorry, I forgot.
sudo xattr -rc Ableton\ Live\ 12\ Suite.app did the trick :)
it's not a systema app, it's an app downloaded from internet.
i have tried xattr -rc either, even if the code signing process not gives an error though. still getting application crashed.
i'm missing something but what?
