`anchor idl init` deploys new idl data account and doesn't show `Anchor Program IDL` at the program address page at the explorers

[ouoabcde]

When I run anchor idl init, this deploys new idl data account. I'm new to the solana and anchor, so I have no idea that this is the right result, but anyway it does deploys the idl account. At devnet, I used this command.

$ anchor idl init --filepath target/idl/<program_name>.json 5yYKAKV5r62ooXrKZNpxr9Bkk7CTtpyJ8sXD7k2WryUc --provider.cluster devnet

And this command generated this new account, 6MiEUjVXFR4dL12vLQXjft8pa4QBZmWiYmNWaKYA7B1N. You can find it at the explorer.

I understand that this command is for publishing the anchor idl file to the on-chain, but I can't find the Anchor Program IDL tab at any of those accounts (5yYKAKV5r62ooXrKZNpxr9Bkk7CTtpyJ8sXD7k2WryUc: program account, 6MiEUjVXFR4dL12vLQXjft8pa4QBZmWiYmNWaKYA7B1N: idl data account).

What should I do to show the Anchor IDL file at the explorer? Is this command is not for this?

My version

• anchor-cli 0.30.0
• solana-cli 1.18.14 (src:d8e08244; feat:4215500110, client:SolanaLabs)

Your IDL has been successfully deployed on-chain, but the Solana explorer doesn't yet support the latest IDL spec.

You can verify this by running:

anchor idl fetch 5yYKAKV5r62ooXrKZNpxr9Bkk7CTtpyJ8sXD7k2WryUc --provider.cluster devnet

It might be worth it to create an issue in the Solana Explorer repo to update Anchor as it's using an ancient version of Anchor (0.23.0):
