I am trying to create an image using composer like i normally do. Usually I click the MacHD as well as the Recovery partition and create an OS package. Now everytime I do it I get this error.

"Failed to build DMG from volume /Volumes/Macintosh HD 1

What changed in Composer that it now does not allow me to create the OS package? I am using Suite 9.97.

@Chris_Hafner There's a beta of AutoDMG for High Sierra which fully supports APFS.

AutoDMG for High Sierra

I use Composer to build packages, but then again, I have built probably thousands of packages in my day. The problem with Composer is when people "go nuts" and decide to snapshot all the things, and end up wrecking their OS. I guess any powerful tool has the potential to be misused... which is why I strongly recommend AutoDMG, as it pretty much does one thing, and does it very well...

Agreed!
