Help needed in setting up signal desktop locally.

[segsev]

Thanks for creating this. I tried setting up signal locally but I am not able to send or receive messages. I followed the steps given on Signal Desktop GitHub. Every time I send a message I get this error.

Any help would be appreciated.

@segsev Hi! Can you tell me the desktop version & server version you used? Let's make sure the client compatible to the server.

Hi @madeindra I am setting up signal Development version on my local Mac OS Big-Sur. Not sure about the server version where can I find it?

@segsev If you don't know that, I can assume you use the latest version for both, that mean it's server v3.21 and latest Desktop.
Unfortunately, the client won't work, you need to use the older version.
