To everyone having a hard time, this is what worked for me with version 2.3.0. See the screenshot here with all the instructions:

Pay attention to all the double dashes and the spaces after/before each dash and/or word
Hope it helps!

Says vst and vst3 are damaged. AU works.

Works perfectly. M1 native. au, vst & vst3.
Install as instructed but run the following in terminal, line by line, before launching DAW:
sudo Xattr -cr /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/Scaler2.component
sudo codesign –force –deep –sign – /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/Scaler2.component
sudo Xattr -cr /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/ScalerAudio2.component
sudo codesign –force –deep –sign – /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/ScalerAudio2.component
sudo Xattr -cr /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/ScalerControl2.component

works if you follow james’ advice with mr alberts clarifications about importance of the dashes and spaces. there is 2 lines for every component scaler2, scaleraudio2, scalercontrol2 – if you use only vst, only vst3 or only audio units then you need to type in only lines needed for those. 3 for audio units and 2 for both vsts
