Thanks for the report.

At the moment, there isn’t enough information here to diagnose the issue. The error message alone (“Failed to copy some IDF versions”) is too generic and can have multiple causes.

To move forward, we’ll need the logs.

Please provide:
Logs from the app logs folder

Once you attach the logs, we’ll be able to take a closer look 👍

Sorry for your inconvenience, this bug is actually already fixed and the fix should be available in todays release. But most of the time deleting the installation and trying again helps (it's race condition)

Does offline installation want's you to login? It should not.
The online installation sadly suffers after change from jihulab site. Please choode github as a mirror (avalible in expert installation) if possible for you or use the offline installer. We are working hard to have or own git mirror with everithing needed for thei nstallation but that will take us some time to setup.

简易安装

As I explained, you either need to use offline installer or advandced installation where you set the mirror to giyhub or to have jihulab account.

I strongly urge NOT to default to the chinese mirror git based on the IP latency. After all, most competent Chinese developers could handle the github censorship. Using the mirrored idf almost certainly causes git submodule update issue which we have to use VPN to redo the installation with github or manually fix all submodules later on. Instead of helping resolving the network censorship, I suggest to stick to only using the github source for now and let devs to fork or provide the mirror themselves just like those of dockerhub/pypi.

Hi, @wuyuanyi135
we are working hard on having our own partial github mirror, which will solve this issue. You still have the option to use the github and couple of users want us to keep the jihulab as an option.
Also as always, in mainland china and other teritories with dificult network issues, the offline installer was always recomanded approach.
