Troubleshooting
Outdated Version Errors: What They Mean and How to Respond
Version-gate errors are deliberate, and the safe response is an update from a source you can name rather than a random mirror.

Why a version error exists
A service that changes its protocol can require a newer build that speaks it, so an older app is refused deliberately. The message is a mechanism rather than a bug, and no amount of clearing cache or reconnecting will remove it. What removes it is a newer build from a source the service accepts.
What each response costs you
| Response | Works? | Risk |
|---|---|---|
| Update from an audited source | Yes | Low, if the signer is consistent |
| Update from a random mirror | Sometimes | High; the file and the source are unverified |
| Ignore the message | No | The error returns every time |
| Uninstall and stop using it | Yes | You lose access entirely |
How to respond correctly
1.Confirm the error is a version gate
A message that names a minimum version and repeats unchanged is a gate rather than a network or cache problem.
2.Find the current build from a source you can name
The right file comes from a place you can revisit, and never from a random mirror.
3.Check the signer before installing
The new build should carry the same signing key as the one you have, or it is not an update.
4.Install over the top to keep your data
Installing the new build over the old one preserves your settings and playlist.
