com.skype.skypeinstaller
This is a background launch daemon helper component that is part of the Skype application. Launch daemons are system-level background services that enable features like incoming call notifications, auto-login, and background synchronization. This helper is not a standalone app and cannot be updated separately from the main Skype application.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThis is a helper component of Skype, not a standalone application. Updating the parent Skype application will automatically update this launch daemon. To ensure you have the native Apple Silicon build of Skype, open the Skype app, go to Skype → About Skype, and check for updates. If Skype is installed via the Mac App Store, open the App Store app and update Skype from there. If you installed Skype directly from Microsoft's website, download and run the latest installer, which will serve the native build on M-series Macs. The launch daemon will be updated as part of this process. Since Apple is removing Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), ensuring you have the native Apple Silicon build of Skype is important for continued compatibility.
