Nw.js: Your profile cannot be used because it is from a newer version of NW.js some features may be unavailable

[quantumproducer]

NWJS Version : 0.27.3
Operating System : OSX

Expected behavior

App start normally

Actual behavior

"your profile cannot be used because it is from a newer version of NW.js some features may be unavailable"

I have to press OK three times before the app will start.

How to reproduce

I have to use nw.js version 0.23.7 because that's the latest my dependency https://github.com/greenheartgames/greenworks/releases is compatible with .

I upload sample project that reproduces issue - just run the app on Mac OSX and you'll see the screenshot above

You need to delete ~/Library/Application\ Support/ to clear this warning. I guess you've used newer version of nwjs for development so 0.23.7 would be downgrade.

~/rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/nw-demo
~/rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/nwjs

I did, it happens immediately when I run my app again.

Ah, I understand now. An entry for my application was made, when I delete that it works. Thank you!

Please refer to http://docs.nwjs.io/en/latest/References/Command%20Line%20Options/#-user-data-dir

After deleting it will still be prompted。。

Delete the user data folder: C:\Users\<your_user_name>\AppData\Local\<app_name_in_manifest>, it works fine for me.

For me, I had multiple copies of nw.. and after copying app.zip -> app.nw + nw, I copied the app.exe into the wrong nw directory. So, my executable was looking at the wrong DLLs.

What is the impact of deleting the User data ? Will it cause any issue?
