AJED Files

MacOS Builds

• These files are built on a Virtual Machine copy of Mojave
• It is probably better that you try to build these files yourself for your particular OS version
• Unfortunately I can't really offer support for building on MacOS but please refer to this thread on Ctrlr discussions on GitHub for more assistance and guidance. (or see below)
• ***Ableton does not like unsigned vst. You need a dev certificate from Apple for this plugin to work. Whitelisting Ctrlr on macOS and avoid quarantine

Remove Quarantine Attribute Using Terminal: macOS may label applications downloaded from the internet with a quarantine attribute, leading to the “damaged” error. You can remove this attribute using the Terminal:

• Open the Terminal application. • Type the following command, but don’t press Enter yet: xattr -cr • After typing the command, drag and drop the “AJED.app” into the Terminal window. This will automatically insert the app’s file path. • Press Enter to execute the command.

This command clears the extended attributes, including the quarantine flag, from the application.

CODESIGNING

codesign -f -s - AJED.vst3 for local ad-hoc signing

codesign: This is the command-line tool itself. -f: This option means "force." It tells codesign to replace any existing signature with the new one. If a previous signature exists, it will be overwritten. -s -: This option specifies the signing identity. In this case, - means "ad-hoc signing." Ad-hoc signing is a way to sign code without a proper code-signing certificate from Apple. It's often used for development, testing, or personal use. Ad-hoc signatures don't provide the same level of trust as a certificate-based signature. AJED.vst3 : Followed by the path to file to codesign.
