CA List,

A few weeks ago there was some confusion over AU Template issues that were being seen. The issue regarding an Audio Unit Effect Cocoa View not being displayed is a Leopard ONLY issue, and occurs when building the Release build style.

A tech note will be posted shortly on this topic but I wanted to give a heads up on how you can work around this issue:

- Fix for projects created with the Audio Unit Effect with Cocoa View template:

1. Get info (cmd+i) on the CocoaUI target in the project

2. Select all configurations, and set the Product Name to {your project name}_CocoaViewFactory (e.g. MyAudioUnit_CocoaViewFactory)

3. In the main view cpp file (e.g. Source/AUSource/MyAudioUnit.cpp)

- Change the instances of the "CocoaViewFactory" string to the new product name (MyAudioUnit_CocoaViewFactory)

- This should occur in two places in the GetProperty() method

4. In the Info.plist file, change the string for the CFBundleIdentifier key from 'com.apple.audiounit.{your project name}' to 'com.Demo.audiounit.{your project name}'

- To fix the template itself, apply these changes to the template project. The template project will be located in /Developer/Library/Xcode/Project\ Templates/Audio Units/Audio Unit Effect with Cocoa View

1. Get info (cmd+i) on the CocoaUI target in the project

2. Select all configurations, and set the Product Name to «ORGANIZATIONNAME»«PROJECTNAMEASIDENTIFIER»_CocoaViewFactory

3. In the main view cpp file (e.g. Source/AUSource/StarterAU.cpp)

- Change the instances of the "CocoaViewFactory" string to t«ORGANIZATIONNAME»«PROJECTNAMEASIDENTIFIER»_CocoaViewFactory

- This should occur in two places in the GetProperty() method

4. In the Info.plist file, change the string for the CFBundleIdentifier key from 'com.apple.audiounit.«PROJECTNAMEASIDENTIFIER»' to 'com.Demo.audiounit.«PROJECTNAMEASIDENTIFIER»'

Note: For some older versions of Xcode the template may be located in /Library/Application Support/Developer/Shared/Xcode/ProjectTemplates/Audio Units/Audio Unit Effect with Cocoa View

Hope this clarifies this issue.

Bob Aron
