Wrong version in .dmg about syncthing-macos HOT 8 CLOSED

Probably you had a very old installation. Previous Syncthing macOS copied the syncthing executable and then executed it from there. Then it did out-update in-place. Nowadays it is shipped and the internal auto-update is turned off.

same cant open the app.

OS: Sonoma 14.4.1

from syncthing-macos.

I have double checked, but the version is not wrong. Please update to the latest v1.27.7-1.

from syncthing-macos.

(For clarity, editing so that the Mac in question is denoted as 'A', while the other endpoint (on Linux) is 'B'.)

Okay, so I downloaded the new release, as suggested. I installed it on A (specifically, I closed it using 'Quit Syncthing' from the tray menu, copied the .app from the new .dmg into the Applications folder (and selected 'Replace' when prompted); I even rebooted for good measure), and restarted syncthing.

When I select 'About' from the tray icon on A, it reports 1.27.7-2. But in the syncthing web GUI on A, it still reports version v.1.27.5. (And I still have the issue where both endpoints A and B show all folders as 'Up to date', but A shows that remote device B is still 'Syncing', with multiple out-of-sync items.) The web GUI on B also confirms that remote device A is, in fact, running 1.27.5.

Not sure if I need to create a new issue, or if this will be seen...

Could you run the following commands in the terminal (note, its also with output):

(venv) jerry@Jerrys-iMac syncthing-macos % ps aux | grep syncthing

Not sure why mine is running from a user library, when yours seems to be running from /Applications; I started it by double-clicking the app in the /Applications folder.

Easy fix, it seems the Executable is overwritten. Just quit syncthing. Then run defaults delete com.github.xor-gate.syncthing-macosx Executable, then run it again :-).

That did the trick. Thanks, much appreciated!

This might stem from the fact that I 'migrated' to a new Mac recently... On my previous machine, this user account was unprivileged when syncthing was originally installed. On the new machine, the account is an administrator.
