https://snapcraft.io/docs/python-apps says that apps command path is automatically searches in the usr/sbin , usr/bin , sbin , and bin sub directories of your snap, but for my case of command in usr/bin it does not work. If I ommit usr/bin prefix snapcraft fails with
path "command" does not existKindly provide your snapcraft.yaml, for better help

apps:
qemu:
command: usr/bin/(binary-file that is installed in usr/bin/ while building)
Check the build logs to know the actual name of the file.
A suggestion is to build the app from source(https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu) with the tag that you want to build as source-tag
eg:
source: https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu
source-tag: v8.0.0
