Audio Units for DAWs

Hello all,


I've been working with custom AudioUnit for AVAudioEngine on iOS for a while (Audio Unit v3), and I now want to build an Audio Unit plug-in for macOS DAWs (Logic Pro or Ableton Live for example). I've been looking about the subject for a while, but I can't manage to understand how it works.


It seems that part of the solution is Audio Unit Extensions, as I saw in WWDC 2015 - 508 and WWDC 2016 - 507, but I don't get how I can reuse the .appex product in Logic Pro or Ableton Live. I've used 3rd party audio units for these softwares but I always get them as .components bundles, which is to be copied in the /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins directory. I tried to copy the .appex in the same folder but it doesn't seem to be recognized by Logic Pro.


Any idea about what am I missing here?


Thank to you all 🙂


Tom
