What happened?

Homebrew updated my macOS client to 25.4.0 while Pikapods hasn't updated my server yet, it's still on 25.3.1.

I can no longer access the web version / PWA on my iPhone and iPad, because it then tells me that there is a version mismatch.

Since I can't force update my PikaPods server, I can no longer access Actual on any client other than the Mac standalone app.

I don't think a client should be allowed to update the database on the server to a higher schema version than the server itself.

If you are using pikapods for your server, its not recommended to use the desktop app for just this reason. You will either need to restore a backup from before your desktop app updated, or only use the desktop app until pikapods updates to the new version.

I learned that the hard way. I still think it's either a bug or poor design choice that the server doesn't reject the higher-version client when it attempts to update the DB to a newer schema.
