Keybase Auto update ignores Operating System requirements #26924

Open p-sims opened 3 weeks ago

p-sims commented 3 weeks ago

Keybase running on MacOS 10.14 has just auto updated to v6.3.0 which only supports MacOS 10.15 an now won't run!!!!!

There appears to be no way of getting hold of legacy dmg files to downgrade to v6.2.8 ...

So one bug: Auto update should check OS version requirement before installing a version which won't run.

And one request: Please can the v6.2.8 dmg file be published somewhether (e.g. gitlab release files) so you can access legacy version both for testing and support older OS versions (temperarily).

Seems I encounter the same type of issue: #27008

were you able to track down a copy of v6.2.8 dmg? I'm going to try and dig out a copy from my Carbon Copy Cloner backups.

I was able to restore Version 6.2.5-20240101042619+3bdf76f84a and launch the app successfully, but now I have to figure how to block auto-updates.

It appears Auto Update can be disabled by editing a settings .json file -- See https://github.com/keybase/client/issues/2802#issuecomment-1036617417

I've found version 6.2.8 in my backups but can't upload here as even zipped it's 193MB.

Thanks for that .json tip to block updates. Will also look for v6.2.8 in backups, the one I pulled was from late May.
