AVE XPC Error: could not find remote service

[fittyCent]

I'm running this in BigSur and I got this:

Reading image file: 'file:///Users/winston/Pictures/Wallpappers/LosAngeles/losAngeles014.png'...OK.
Adding image...OK.
Finalizing image container...AVEBridge Info: AVEEncoder_CreateInstance: Received CreateInstance (from VT)

OK.

Is this something that existed prior to BigSur too?

This project is awesome by the way!

Hi, I've the same error after upgrade to BigSur (and Xcode 12). The output file is created despite the error, however it would be great to fix it.

Ah, I was thinking that the output might be bad due to that error because when i plugged it into settings, I don't see the same message as I do with your sample Earth wallpaper

Here's my json just in case you could point out something dumb I did:

JSON seems ok. Maybe apple changed something in the OS.

I verified that for time based wallpapers there is no message

This desktop picture changes throughout the day, based on your location.

in the Settings app.

The output file is created despite the AVEBridge Error error. Preview app reports very similar error when we exporting image to HEIC file. I'm closing the issue since the error is from internal Apple framework and we cannot do anything about it.
