Can'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, I continue getting beta updates. I've switched back and forth several times and it doesn't seem to do anything.


1Password Version: 8
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: macOS 12.3.1

    I changed my update channel to production back when it was recommended by 1P_Tommy. I was checking 1P updates today & saw there was an update for 8.9 beta that would be installed if I proceeded, even though the release channel was set to production. Not wanting to continue on the beta, I downloaded 8.8 from the website & installed that, which seemed to go ok. Just wanted to update here because apparently changing the release channel doesn't seem to have any effect on getting off of the beta channel.

    Ah that makes sense. Thank you for the explanation. I'll wait for 8.8 stable.

    Hi folks,

    Please see my answer here: https://1password.community/discussion/comment/642608/#Comment_642608

    This is expected because there is no stable version for the 1Password 8.8 beta builds you're using right now, the app will continue to push beta updates until the next stable update is available. Not getting beta updates until the next stable update means you'd be stuck with issues that may be addressed in later beta updates.

    When 1Password 8.8 stable is released, you'll get that and no more beta updates afterward, only the stable updates from the production channel.
