Error in GarageBand with macOS 12 and higher

Most of Cherry Audio's plugins* are not compatible with Garageband under macOS 12 (Monterey) and macOS13 (Ventura) on computers with the Intel chip while the macOS Gatekeeper security feature is enabled.  While Cherry Audio doesn't recommend disabling Gatekeeper, it's the only way to allow our Audio Units to run in GarageBand.

    Hello Greg, I hope you’re well.


    I had to go back to Garageband  and I’ve just found out that I cant use my plugins anymore.


    Wi there be a fix for this issue in the future ?
