I think you are experiencing the same issue as me:

godotengine/godot#96403

In short, for now this can be worked around by using dylibs instead of frameworks on macos.

@Ivorforce thanks, but it's not working for me, just tried

[Ivorforce]

Can you pack an example project that uses dylibs that's not working for you?

[ivasonn]

if i understand correct, there is modified project with dylibs
godot-cpp-template.zip

hm, using

macos.debug = "res://./bin/macos/macos.framework/libEXTENSION-NAME.macos.template_debug"
macos.release = "res://./bin/macos/macos.framework/libEXTENSION-NAME.macos.template_release"

instead of

macos.debug = "res://bin/macos/macos.framework/libEXTENSION-NAME.macos.template_debug"
macos.release = "res://bin/macos/macos.framework/libEXTENSION-NAME.macos.template_release"

fixing issue, like godotengine/godot#90108 (comment) . Also, to see changes i need to unfocus and focus godot window. Is it expected behavior?

[Ivorforce]

Ohh, good observation!
My comment was pertaining an instantaneous disappearance of properties — i.e. just clicking away from the godot editor would make the properties disappear already. I had not found a way to avoid the disappearance after a rebuild yet. Your finding has finally got me the final piece of information I was missing.

Is it expected behavior?

No, this is a bug. I hope that all these observations together are enough to finally get it fixed. I will likely have a look myself later, but if not, I'll submit a formal bug report. I hope we can get it fixed ASAP.
