With ApricotSynthBetaMacOS_v1.0.9.zip, are you able to load the standalone .app? Please follow the installation instructions and let me know what happens.
when I download it just shows "MacOSPlugin" and then opens it in text edit but doesn't download the app, though when I downloaded the regular version and copied the command into terminal it did find the file but I was greeted with the message of this cannot be downloaded because the developer has not been verified, I know Apple kind of sucks when it comes to stuff like this but anyways thanks for listening
hey, I downloaded it, unfortunately it is still not working and I still get the "cannot be downloaded because the developer has not been verified" however I was able to get the standalone app to work so I finally got to try the synth and it sounds really nice! I was able to download the plugin version but as soon as I actually copy the file the message pops up. I guess Apple has some kind of verification process now
According to this article from Apple, https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/mac-help/mh40616/mac, there should be an option to grant an exception to allow the app to open in Privacy & Security settings.
