I have a problem with ASAP v1.2.3 2024-04-10
Logic Pro reports that ARA2 is not supported. Yet it is successfully validated in Logic extensions.

If I select Pitches Brew as a channel plug-in, I get the following window:
“ARA2 extension is not supported. Please ensure that the ARA2 extension us supported by the host application (Apple Logic) and that the plugin is loaded according to the host specifications for ARA2 compatibility.”

Have I missed anything?

Upgraded Mac OS to 13.6.9
Logic Pro 10.7.9

This problem is documented in the user manual. Logic native Silicone does not support ARA plug-ins. This is a problem known to the Logic developers and the developers of the ARA extension, who are actively working on a solution. In the meantime, you have two solutions:
