old firmware no update available?

[Grayson]

im trying to do IR leaning which needs 4.13.7 minimum according to the video but my device is on 4.12.18. Not matter what i try the app doesnt show me any newer firmware? If i try to do IR learning on this version the learn button is greyed out.

I have a brand new Skip 1s and need the Record feature as my new Panasonic Smart TV is not listed (model: TB-50W60AEY)

• Firmware Version 4.12.6-0-g60dd93b
• Remote Model SKIP.1S.RELEASE.A05
• Registration Date 12/05/2024 22:22:23

I am on MacOS Sonoma 14.4 + I have attempted Record, with no success, using the following SkipApp versions

• SkipApp 0.9.993.9156 (Nightly)
• SkipApp 0.9.993.9152 (RC)
• SkipApp-0.9.992.9056 (Beta)

From reading earlier series of posts culminating in SkipApp-0.9.955 with IR Learning - Alpha 6, it is mentioned several times that the firmware version is key and that it can be updated following these instructions, copied below:

• Close the software
• Unplug the USB-C cable
• Remove the batteries.
• Press and hold the return and center key while you insert the USB-C cable (image attached)
• Start the software

I have had no success with this method of firmware update.

• Is it critical to update from 4.12.6-0 to have any chance of Record working with the above SkipApp builds?
• Is it expected that a SkipApp update itself can update the firmware (when using MacOS)?
• Has anyone using MacOS successfully done the firmware update method listed above?

I have posted this problem originally on Beta Feedback section.

Thanks in advance for any help!

User error (oops) when attempting firmware upgrade. I was re-installing the batteries after step 3 for some reason.

• Close the software
• Unplug the USB-C cable
• Remove the batteries.
• Press and hold the return and center key while you insert the USB-C cable (image attached)
• Start the software

All isues resolved now after firmware upgrade
