I'm sending this along in case someone else encounters it and this saves them 30+ minutes of head scratching and online searching.
MacOS Monterey adds the extended attribute "com.apple.quarantine" to any files that are downloaded from the internet. Even if you've download a zip file, the contents get marked when it is unzipped. So when I use the FAUST online compiler (a wonderful resource, by the way) to make a VST or AU plugin, host programs like Plogue Bidule will refuse to load it, throwing an error about unsigned binaries. Apple is trying to protect you from running malware, so use this only if you trust the source of the file. A better fix would be if the online FAUST compiler signed the binaries it produced, but here's what you can do for now: In a terminal, xattr shows the extended attribute: heller% xattr -r CMAP8c8s4c3h3vacnn3dvienna.vst CMAP8c8s4c3h3vacnn3dvienna.vst/Contents/MacOS/CMAP8c8s4c3h3vacnn3dvienna: com.apple.quarantine CMAP8c8s4c3h3vacnn3dvienna.vst/Contents/MacOS: com.apple.quarantine CMAP8c8s4c3h3vacnn3dvienna.vst/Contents/Info.plist: com.apple.quarantine CMAP8c8s4c3h3vacnn3dvienna.vst/Contents/PkgInfo: com.apple.quarantine CMAP8c8s4c3h3vacnn3dvienna.vst/Contents: com.apple.quarantine CMAP8c8s4c3h3vacnn3dvienna.vst: com.apple.quarantine The fix is to remove the attribute: heller% xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine CMAP8c8s4c3h3vacnn3dvienna.vst heller% xattr -r CMAP8c8s4c3h3vacnn3dvienna.vst [no output] Aaron Heller Menlo Park, CA US
