Error in installing Docker Desktop Settings version is too high for the application. Use the latest version or reset to factory defaults to continue

I am trying to install Docker Desktop 3.2.0. I am getting this error while installing docker desktop

Settings version is too high for the application. Use the latest version or reset to factory defaults to continue.

My OS Version is - macOS Big Sur 11.5.2

Error

Solution

  • In this thread they discuss changing a value in ~/Library/Group Containers/group.com.docker/settings.json: changing settingsVersion from 6 to 5

    WARNING!

    Though in this case reverting to factory defaults was successful but should be taken with a grain of salt, unless no important information is saved this could erase vital data.
