Hey all!

I'm having a hard time installing individual (sometimes unsigned) VST3 plugins on my 2019 Intel iMac, running Ventura. If there's an installer, it's fine: I can use "Open Anyway" under Privacy & Security. It's really making it hard to review some exciting new plugins.

I used this workaround when I was running Catalina, but it's not working now: https://www.osirisguitar.com/how-to-mak ... -catalina/

Anyone have any luck installing drag-and-drop VST3 plugins on recent Intel Macs? Cheers!

What does running this on the target plugin's path generate?

Code: Select all

xattr /path/tofile
It's been a while since I hit a quarantine problem but IIRC there's sometimes an additional flag that needs to be removed as well as the com.apple.quarantine one.

sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Plugin path seems to work

Cheers, guys. Still seems to not like some plugins. Could be my system.

Then try -cr to override Gatekeeper instead of -rd
