yes i am able to get my app working in qc with the visualize on in itunes. still dosen't show up in i tunes though. i did go to edit protocol conform. it adds the compliance files to my comp i have checked the box. maybe it has something to do with my ports. i didn't start with a visualizer template. although i just did start a comp from the visualizer template and it seems to show up in itunes now. not sure why i can get my app to work in qc with the visualizer on but it won't show up in itunes as a selectable visualizer. so it seems maybe the input is working but maybe the output is not ? what specifically do you need to set for published outputs ? i will start over from the visualizer template instead of blank. i will look at my file and compare it to a template when i get home and see what the difference is. i think i was using one of the examples as a reference. maybe even copied something i shouldn't have, i looked at the example visualizer and it says (c) apple so maybe that has something to do with it. maybe i copied a audio input from the example file or something instead of adding a fresh one to my comp. don't know if that would make a difference or not.
