Because I have problems with new release (0.29.3), I need to downgrade Netbird version. But when uninstall it on MacOS and install previous versions only UI version is changed but Daemon version stays 0.29.3. I removed bin file from usr/bin, removed every logs connected to NetBird, deleted netbird file from LaunchDaemons folder but still daemon version is the same and it somehow remembers my ports. How can I downgrade daemon version?

hello @ahmados , can you try the following:

netbird service uninstall
  1. Replace your binary (or install specific version using brew)
netbird service install
netbird service start 

with these steps it should obtain what you need; can you confirm please?

I'm seeing a similar issue. Daemon version is stuck at 0.28.4 even after doing an upgrade from the UI (download and then run installer). I may have initially installed netbird with brew so that might perhaps be the issue? If the daemon is already installed, does the netbird pkg installer just leave it alone? Furthermore, I'm using a self hosted instance so starting the node with a setup-key is a little more straighforward with CLI, at least it was a long time ago.
