How long will the older DFX versions continue to be supported and work? I would like to avoid the Mac OS issue for now. Is this Mac OS issue only for the latest OS version, I have never seen this error on the previous DFX using Mac OS Sonoma 14.7.4.
Hi, keep in mind that if you don’t update dfxvm, it will continue to pull the x86 version of dfx so you won’t have to change the ACL entries in your keychain - this should continue to work until Apple deprecates Rosetta.
That being said, the older versions of dfx will continue to work as long as they are compatible with the mainnet apis. You will be missing out on new features though like non replicated http calls and might need to download pocketic manually if you want to use that with older versions of dfx.
