still seeing the same with 2.5.9 rel, Homebrew/homebrew-core#191510 cc @falkTX

I know, issue comes from juce which I have removed for the next major version but I dont want to have big changes in the 2.5.x so this is "wont fix" for 2.5.x

The next 2.6.x series is almost ready, but not quite yet

[chenrui333]

is there patch that I can backport it?

is there patch that I can backport it?

not really, I wrote new vst3 and AU hosting code so I wouldnt need to rely on juce for that.

and juce doesnt do LTS releases, the changes that handle sequoia are on JUCE8 which is quite the change for the old JUCE6 that 2.5.x Carla has

disabling JUCE is possible but that would drastically change how Carla works for a bugfix release (native AU and VST3 hosting dont work on 2.5.x and device handling is also JUCE)

I dont have a solution here besides building carla 2.5.x with older macOS.
For 2.6.x this wont be a problem, but will take a bit before that is ready.

got you, I will wait for the new 2.6.x release then. Thanks!
