Recently I have been getting this message when running my code in a s.waitForBoot routine starting with the server off: ‘no appropriate host app for CPU architecture i386’. It does not happen if the server is already booted and it also does not seem to affect performance of my code, not a in way I can tell anyways. Does anybody know where the messages comes from and what causes it?
This message comes from VSTPlugin. It means that the plugin search has discovered a 32-bit Intel plugin, but VSTPlugin does not have a corresponding host app to bridge that plugin. (Recent VSTPlugin binaries do not include a 32-bit host app anymore because macOS has dropped support for 32-bit executables.)
Since you do not see any error message, I think what happens is that you have one ore more old universal plugin binaries that contain 32-bit Intel code. Anyway, this is just an informative message and you can simply ignore it. Maybe I should at least prepend it with VSTPlugin: so that people know where it comes from.
