I have my own XCode project for my plugin. The debug build outputs the GetPluginFactory symbol okay, but the release build does not. So Cubase can run the debug build, but it fails to scan the release build. I’ve tripled checked the Build Settings in XCode and it looks okay.
I see two forum posts that address a similar issue:
error-dll-does-not-export-the-required-getpluginfactory-function/201739/2
and
solved-vst2-not-detected-by-live-with-sdk-3-6-7/201652/26
But neither point to a solution that works for me.
I tried adding the file public.sdk/source/main/macexport.exp (In “Exported Symbols File” of the XCode build settings) but that did not work.
Any suggestions?
