Default AU build vs Steinberg AU wrapper

I’m struggling to get my plugins working in AU format but VST2 and VST3 are working good. Should I keep working to get the IPlug AU build to work - or just “wrap it” with the Steinberg AU wrapper and move on?

What are the pros/cons of either way?

Doesn't the Steinberg AU wrapper depend on the plugin being written against their specific C++ framework? edit : Maybe not, but I don't see why one would write their plugin with IPlug and then attempt to use that Steinberg thing to get an AU plugin...

it's madness to switch to a different wrapper...you just need to disable the plist script and manually make the plist

I tried disabling the "pluginFactory" line in generate_plists.py and then manually adding that info to the AU plist but that was not enough - there's a problem somewhere else that I don't see likely due to this same issue.

Where is the "generate_plists.py" script run from in the Xcode project?
