CLI can't connect

[ERROR] 2025/12/17 14:09:48 connecting to desktop app: 1Password CLI couldn't connect to the 1Password desktop app. To fix this, update the 1Password app to the latest version and restart the app. If you're still having trouble, visit https://developer.1password.com/docs/cli/app-integration#troubleshooting for more help.

CLI cant connect to the desktop app anymore. Opening the desktop app I get prompted with this message 

Your saved data appears to be newer than this version of 1Password can use. Please update 1Password to its latest version. Contact support@1password.com for help.

I've since attempted to reinstall the desktop app using the latest release, as well as the beta release, but both versions still give me the error above. this is 8.11.22 and 8.11.22-26

Macbook M3 Pro 

OS - Sequoia 15.6.1

CLI version - 2.32.0

    The error you mention may have resulted from using a beta version of the app, though something is clearly wrong if using both the latest release and beta versions produce the error.

    As for the CLI problem, you pasted the URL for the troubleshooting but don't mention having read or tried anything in it. That said, this problem is clearly contingent on you having a running desktop app, so it would make sense to fix that and then see if you have a CLI problem.
