What plugin formats does this build skill support?

It supports VST3, AUv2, AUv3, CLAP, standalone applications, and Web Audio Modules (WAM) using Emscripten.

Do I need to manually configure generators like Ninja or Xcode?

No, the skill uses CMake presets to automatically select the appropriate generator, platform flags, and build configurations for you.

Does it support the Skia graphics backend?

Yes, you can specify Skia as the graphics backend and renderer (Metal, GL3, or CPU) using cache variables during the configuration step.

Where are the built plugins located on macOS?

On macOS, the build system automatically symlinks the output to standard locations like ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3 or ~/Applications/.

Can I build for mobile devices like iPhone or Vision Pro?

Yes, it includes specific presets for iOS and visionOS, supporting both physical devices and simulators via the Xcode generator.
