Error message "Couldn't communicate with a helper application" when setting up Copilot for Xcode

[ast3150]

I am encountering an error message when trying to set up Copilot for Xcode. Specifically, I receive the message "Couldn't communicate with a helper application" in Copilot for Xcode or whenever I attempt any action within the Xcode -> Editor -> Copilot menu

I have tried using both Xcode 14.2 and 14.3, which I installed via Xcodes. I have also attempted to reinstall both Xcode and Copilot for Xcode multiple times, but the error message persists.

The Node path is setup correctly to /opt/homebrew/bin/node.

I'm using Copilot for Xcode 0.8.6 on the latest macOS 13.2.1

I am hoping to receive guidance on how to troubleshoot this issue and successfully set up Copilot for use in Xcode.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Did you try the steps in FAQ?

Thanks, I had to create the plist manually. It would be helpful to have some more guidance about this in the FAQ, as I had to ask a friend for the proper .plist values so that it works. I can add a PR to improve the Readme.

I am moving the FAQ to this issues, you can reply to it and I will update the FAQ.

Is the 'Setup Launch Agent' button not working for you?

I added pull request #72 to extend the Readme. It was not working for me, for some reason.
