Hello @Hobbes
I can confirm this is a known issue and the BFD team are onto it.
Kind regards, Rayne

Same here, is there some deadline for this? Thanks!
(Edited) I forgot to add that it happened with Garageband and Logic X Pro.
Any deadline for this? I ordered BFD3 more than 2 months ago and still haven’t been able to use it in my DAW.
I feel scammed, honestly.

Thanks for getting on this guys. I know keeping up with Apple is exhausting.
I’m still experiencing the same problem - standalone loads content but AU doesn’t. Any news of a fix yet?
Hi folks, I’m having the exact same issue on my M1. Also hoping for a fix soon…
I can confirm that I have the same issue. I’m unable to load BFD in Logic now, after updating BFD and then updating the OS to Ventura.
2022 Macbook Air M1.
Can confirm as well, can’t load BFD in Reaper under Ventura on a 2022 M2 Air, but standalone and Reaper with Rosetta works perfectly.
I have the same issue…
Just bought BFD3 during a Black Friday sale. Haven’t been able to use it in my DAW (Ableton Live). Running an M1 MacBook Pro on Ventura.
So, I just tried forcing Ableton Live to run using Rosetta, and it actually worked.
Now I can run BFD3 as an AU within Ableton Live.
This is a sucky solution, of course, but for anyone else who needs access to BFD3 within their DAW, even at the cost of no longer running natively within Apple Silicon, you can follow these steps:
Find your DAW application in Finder (in my case, Ableton Live). Right-click on your DAW and select Get Info. Then check the box that says “Open using Rosetta.” Re-open your DAW, load up the AU plugin for BFD3, and it should work.
Developers, if you could get BFD3 working natively within Apple Silicon, that should fix the AU issue and would help me and these other users a whole lot! I know you’ve been working on it; we will certainly appreciate when it’s done.
Thanks! I hope this helps others.

Tried with Logic (Tried before, but just tried again). Instant crash to desktop, for me.
I have the Desktop App working fine, but no luck with the AU. It’s been confirmed to me that the AU is currently not ecpected to work, but my enquiry as to a rough estimate of time to wait has been left unanswered.
Can anyone who is on the Beta team please give some kind of idea of the state-of-play regarding AU ready-ness?
Thanks
Yes - Same issue here in LPX 10.4.7 - Can we get some answer on this please?
If you’re on M1, this post is pertinent:
I’m having the exact same issue with this! I’ve had no end of issues with BFD since it moved to InMusic to be honest and I’m loosing the will to live trying to use it on my Mac (especially since upgrading to an M1).
Any ideas when this will get resolved?
Seems we’re not too far away, at this point:
I can’t believe that this developer is just mixing his salary and not doing anything. It’s beyond the limit. I really think everyone is so polite. The rights and interests of consumers are left here. Shirking responsibility and delaying time are your forte, and everyone can see it. Maybe you don’t care about our life and death at all, if you cheat our hard-earned money into your hands, it will be an ending, and you will maintain everything in the later stage. I have already seen your faces clearly. The problem with the m1 AU plug-in has been going on for several years. You solve the problem every year. Is this efficiency really good? Everyone complained very politely, but I don’t think that’s enough, I thought I was also very polite before, it seems that you take this kind of politeness as an attitude that can be ignored. Being polite doesn’t do you any favors, and neither does being rude, but I want to do it differently because I don’t think it’s worth being polite anymore
I switched to SD.
What a shame, what a waste of time and money BFD3 is. No respect whatsoever for the customer and his well-earned money, this is a dead product.

Working now in M1 Mac Studio Ultra, latest Ventura macOS, in both Logic Pro and standalone app just fine, for anybody like me revisiting the forum after absense and clicking on recent posts from past month. 
“Not dead yet.”
Seems to be working now, at least on my M1 Macbook Pro! Yessss!
