The first run of todays' update gives

% biber --version
2022-07-24 07:33:19.517 xcodebuild[15287:1861037] Requested but did not find extension point with identifier Xcode.IDEKit.ExtensionSentinelHostApplications for extension Xcode.DebuggerFoundation.AppExtensionHosts.watchOS of plug-in com.apple.dt.IDEWatchSupportCore

biber version: 2.18

on both arm64 and x86-64 on Mac. All is normal on succeeding runs even if I first remove the cache.

That is output from the MacOS lipo command which is run on first unpack to separate the ARM/x86 binaries from the universal binary. It's a message coming from OSX itself and usually means some missing xcode bits - it's a very annoying message which I see sometimes on my machines as it's looking for development environment bundles for things like apple watches which are utterly irrelevant. You can try:

sudo xcode-select --install

Or just software update to update xcode and devtools. I think this happens because lipo was run on my end to create the universal binary and I have a newer xode/devtools than you. The warning is irrelevant but annoying.

Just for info - I just ran git status - nothing to do with biber and got the same message as you reported - it's an annoying MacOS thing.

See here for a discussion of this and some fixes: https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/438785/xcode-error-when-launching-terminal

What worked for me was to simply start Xcode.app once which prompted to install some "additional components" which was presumably the ones it mentioned as missing.
