Both the app and AU/VST's won't open on my machine. Is anyone else having the same issue. :-(
On Monterey 12.2.1
I opened the app on macOS 13.1. Right click on Ribs.app, then "Show Package Contents", Contents -> MacOS. There is Ribs file. Open Terminal app or any command line interface, type "chmod +x" then drag and drop Ribs file to the terminal and press Enter. When you will launch Ribs.app - after first launch right click on Ribs.app and Open.
You may have to run your daw through Rosetta to fix this. Installed mine on ableton and it scanned and ran just fine. It may come at a hit to the cpu usage but there are works around a for that (decreasing buffer size + others). All you have to do is go to your applications folder and right click your daw. Then click get info and there will be a check box closer to the bottom that says something like “open using Rosetta”. You may have to authorize your daw again but it’s not much of a hassle and is a decent workaround for other vsts that aren’t officially supported (monster daw, Zenology in my experience)
Hey guys I have a 2023 Macbook Pro with an M2 pro chip, without using Rosetta it didn't show up in the plugin location but after running Ableton with Rosetta then the plugin showed up for me. Another thing sometimes you have to do for some plugins is go into the terminal, they aren't regonized or won't show up because they are unidentified to apple or they weren't signed by apple as safe, so sometimes you do need to go into the terminal to fix that. For example you can run this command: sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST/Ribs_1.2.4-Mac/Ribs_1.2.4/OSX/Ribs.vst

That can help too if its still not working. the after sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine, the /Library part of the command does need to be the exact location or file path for it to understand the command. And after I ran it and opened Ableton with Rosetta it worked for me and you also did need to rescan for plugins too.
Here's something I made for the steps to help me remember:
-Use Ableton with Rosetta 2, go to the get info and turn on using Rosetta 2 in Ableton. (Make sure you turn on open using Rosetta, Ribs doesn’t show up if you don’t open it with Rosetta)
-Make sure the VST, VST3, AU Files etc. are in the right folder location
-Use the command in the Terminal paste it: sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine
-The paste the File Path afterward for example (Must be specific) [You can copy a file path by holding option and rightclicking and pressing copy “Ribs.vst” as pathname]: /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST/Ribs_1.2.4-Mac/Ribs_1.2.4/OSX/Ribs.vst
-This is what the Command would look like in the Terminal Example: sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST/Ribs_1.2.4-Mac/Ribs_1.2.4/OSX/Ribs.vst
Reason you run the command (Because the plugin is not signed and notarized. After doing this the system will allow your DAW to load the plugin)
-If the VST version isn’t working for some reason and it has a component file for Audio Units you can do the same thing for audio units files.
