Hi All,
I've never had a problem before using composer to package apps until version 10.28. When packaging a drag and drop app such as Krita or Blender, Composer has started displaying this error message during the 'Build as PKG' build process - Couldn't communicate with a helper application.
I've never seen this before, it's doing it on a clean install of Catalina 10.15.7 and on a different machine with an upgrade to Big Sur 11.2.3.
It will package VLC successfully but not Krita or Blender.
It will create DMGs ok for all three.
All three are given the same owner/group & permissions before creating a new PKG. Root, Admin and 755.
Has anyone else encountered this issue and were you able to resolve it?
Thanks for any info!
Solved! Go to Solution.

I was having the same issue. I checked the online manual and found that they added a new Preference for executable type I found that to be causing the issue. I can only hazard a guess that it is not detecting the executable type correctly. I went into Preferences and changed "Executable Types in PKGs:" to "One or More executables require Rosetta" from "Automatically detect executable types" it fixed the error.

And another 6 months later with 10.39 it is still a 'thing'.
The fix works perfectly, thanks.

Oh.my.goodness, you guyss!! Thanks so much for this solution @Reiven I was having issues packaging JASP and it kept failing (hasn't happened before) and couldn't figure out what the issue was, searched for the error code and came across this thread. This fixed it! Grateful for this community. Thank you!

Many thanks @reiven
That worked. Looks like the auto detect isn't detecting intel and universal binaries properly.

Worked for me on 10.44.1 and Ventura client. Oddly, this didn't happen before when I tried to package the same stuff. Started today.
