3 years agoCan't switch update channel [Switching to prod will still get beta update until next stable update]
When 1PW 8 went GA I went into Preferences | Advanced and switched my release channel to Production. But it doesn't do anything. Not only does the app not immediately switch to the production version...

You cannot change channels until a new release is issued for that channel. For example you cannot change from beta (now) and pull in a production build. You would continue to get beta updates until a (new) production build is released.
My best suggestion would be to remain on beta until the next update. If you are currently on the beta. There have likely been updates that benefit you presently. That said, if you want to try to return to the stable the following may be able to help you.
--
- Make sure you have your Emergency Kit and know your account password. Also, make sure all of your data appears on 1Password.com.
- Open 1Password > Preferences > Advanced -- Release channel -- (select an option) Production, Beta, or Nightly.
- Quit 1Password and all browser for good measure. Right-click 1Password in the menu bar (If it's there) and click Quit.
- Open Finder, and click the Go menu > Go to Folder... In the box that appears, copy and paste the following exactly:
~/Library/Group Containers/2BUA8C4S2C.com.1password/Library/Application Support/1Password/
Press Return.
You'll see a folder called
Data
– right-click on the folder and select Compress "Data".Drag the original
Data
folder to the Trash.Remove the 1Password app from the Applications folder by dragging it to the trash. DO NOT use an app cleaner.
Download a new copy of 1Password and install. Best Password Manager for macOS & Safari
Go through any needed setup.
I've included the steps above regarding the database to help ensure you do not have a newer database type after using the beta. Again, my best recommendation would be to remain on the beta until the next production release.
