1Password-CLI not working

I'm installing 1Password-CLI on a new computer and I'm getting this error:

[ERROR] 2025/05/09 15:34:50 connecting to desktop app: write: The pipe is being closed.

Looking at the previous thread here: CLI can not connect to desktop app | 1Password Community

Update:
The latest production/stable 1Password app (8.10.78) and CLI (2.31.1) are now working together and the 1Password app can again unlock the CLI.
To use the fixed versions:

winget update 1password-cli

Let us know if you run into any trouble after updating to the latest versions of the app and CLI.

I uninstalled the new version and re-installed 2.30.3 and it seems to be working, so it probably is the same problem as before.

I also stumbled upon this the first time I set up the CLI, so it helped! Thank you and I'll be sure to check out your site 🙌.

For the benefit of others, I leave the CLI installation commands using winget.

```powershell
winget install --id AgileBits.1Password.CLI --version 2.30.3
```

users may need to uninstall the broken / unsigned version first...

TL:DR

winget uninstall --id AgileBits.1Password.CLI
winget install --id AgileBits.1Password.CLI --version 2.30.3

All the things.

Can confirm the same issue here. Downgrading also fixed it for me.

This seems to break 1Password and VScode integration...

This quick start guide will get you up and running with the extension.
Set up the CLI - v2.4.0 or greater of the 1Password CLI needs to be https://developer.1password.com/docs/cli/get-started#install.

Wow, they broke things across the board.

After getting fed up trying to make it work on Windows, I switched to my Linux system. And it was broke af there, too. :/

Thanks @jpettorino

How does something this trivial get slipped intro production?

Hi Everyone,

Sorry for the issues you are having, something did go wrong with the signing of the 1Password CLI 2.31.0 and 2.31.0-beta.01 for Windows. Our team is currently working on a fix.

While we are working on the solution you can switch to the 2.30.3 version.

Either by:
- Going to our app updates site and downloading it directly then using our manual installation steps
- Using winget and 'forcing' the installation of the working version:

winget install 1password-cli --version 2.30.3 --force

We will update again once we a fix has been released.

Update:

A fixed version of the CLI beta has been released. You can update to that one (and the 1Password for Windows app beta/nightly) to take advantage of the fix. More details in the release notes

We know that the stable/production versions of the 1Password app and CLI are still not fixed. Work for those is ongoing.

Are the betas installable with WinGet, or do I need to follow the manual installation instructions? I've been using WinGet up until now.

Solved, thanks!

But if you're not planning to sign the code release, why even publish it? This isn't the first time this has happened, pretty disappointing.

There was an error on our end, this was not intentional. We are sorry for the error.
