Hello, I have been having an issue installing WPILib VSCode on my Mac since kickoff and have not had any luck since.
To get details out of the way:
I am running macOS Monterey 12.1
yes, I downloaded the macOS dmg installer from GitHub
I have downloaded the latest installer (2022.3.1
I was able to download the installer and open it. In that process, I chose
install mode “Everything”
“Download for this computer only”
Then it seemed to download everything fine
Immediately after downloads were complete, this box showed up.
I have gotten this issue every time I have redone the entire process since kickoff 2022. I have not had this issue in previous years. Also, It downloaded VSCode fine, just did not have any of the WPIlib stuff with it.
Any advice/info/help?

It’s not an error, more a warning. Everything installed will work fine and it is just Apple saying that in the future the current version of the installer will not be supported. Can you check the ~/wpilib/2022 directory? Is there content there? If you want to launch tools you can do that with some GradleRIO commands .
there is content in that folder.
When I opened VScode downloaded through the WPILib installer, the normal WPILib icon is not in the corner.
If I understand you right, you can “force start” the WPILib stuff with commands?

In my experience the icon only appears when you have WPILib project open. In the extensions tab, is the WPILib one installed?

In your WPILib directory do you have these folders, and content inside of them?

Inside the vs code extensions folder, is there the wpilib.vsix file?

In your WPILib vscode, you can try to manually install the vsix with the three dots on the extension tab.
Is it an Intel based Mac, or M1?
You can find that on the apple icon, “About this Mac”.
I have an M1 running this all through Rosetta on 12.1, and now I’m on 12.2. Haven’t had any issues.
Ok that may have worked… the icon appeared in the corner. Let me pull our project and see if it works.
This worked. Pulled code and built it successfully. Thanks
