My computer is a 2020 Intel MacBook Pro running macOS 12. Today, when I clicked Update in the Codex app and tried to install it, I got an error saying that macOS 13 or later is required. Can this be fixed, or how can I roll back to the previous version?

i download old version!
give me old version download url
同样的问题，可以给一个下载地址吗？
同样的问题，下载上一个版本重新安装就好了 https://github.com/Wangnov/codex-app-mirror/releases
https://github.com/Wangnov/codex-app-mirror/releases/download/codex-app-26.727.51351/Codex-mac-x64.dmg
https://github.com/Wangnov/codex-app-mirror/releases/download/codex-app-26.727.51351/Codex-mac-x64.dmg
also told codex close update
build 6119 is available, where can I download?
我查本地历史更新的缓存记录https://persistent.oaistatic.com/codex-app-prod/ChatGPT-darwin-x64-26.727.51351.zip最后这个版本是支持macos12
也是神了 自动更新一个与当前系统不兼容的版本
这个更新就草率，都没做版本匹配校验，正常应该先识别当前系统环境然后在找对应支持的版本弹出更新按钮才对，这个有点简单粗暴；应该要发个补偿重置卡，浪费我好几个小时

你把zip解压成这个文件夹名称然后下面这样文件，目录结构一致，在开个cmd命令行执行把下面贴进去执行就行
关闭 Codex / ChatGPT
pkill -x ChatGPT 2>/dev/null
pkill -x Codex 2>/dev/null
备份当前不能运行的版本，不删除
sudo mv "/Applications/ChatGPT.app" \
"$HOME/Desktop/ChatGPT-26.730.61309-不兼容备份.app"
安装支持 macOS 12 的版本到原目录
sudo ditto \
"$HOME/Downloads/ChatGPT-26.727.51351-check/ChatGPT.app" \
"/Applications/ChatGPT.app"
关闭自动更新，避免又升级到不兼容版本
defaults write com.openai.codex SUEnableAutomaticChecks -bool false
defaults write com.openai.codex SUAutomaticallyUpdate -bool false
defaults write com.openai.codex SUAutomaticallyUpdateApp -bool false
刷新 Dock 并打开
killall Dock
open "/Applications/ChatGPT.app"
对的我这个包是intel芯片的包，我电脑macbookpro 2020 intel，如果你是苹果芯片的话要另外去找对应芯片https://github.com/Wangnov/codex-app-mirror/releases#release-codex-app-26.727.51351
啊 现在解决了 我是M1芯片下成x64版本的了 感谢您耐心指导
这个方法太赞啦！
众人拾柴火焰高，我来添一笔拆。如何禁止它自动更新，可以选择openai官方支持禁止自动更新的方式，而不是上面那位直接从系统层面禁止更新。防止应用降级后再打开又更新了：
安装完旧版后，先不要打开！，打开之前在etc下添加如下文件：cat /etc/codex/requirements.toml
内容：
check_for_update_on_startup = false
[features]
in_app_updates = false
再打开，在系统设置中你会看到：

这就说明禁止更新成功了，日后重新兼容了再把这个文件删了，重新检查更新就行。目前只要你不手贱点check for update，就不会自动更新了
最新版本还没解决吗？
都去提交bug看看有没有修复
苹果芯片的安装就版本显示无法打开
Sorry, Chrome no longer supports macOS 12 and in order to pick up the latest security updates, we had to bump the minimum supported macOS version.

If you get stuck, you can download the last working version here:
Apple Silicon
Intel
苹果芯片安装了最旧版本的codex显示无法打开，我之前没删除的旧的下载包也是这个问题
@gpeal 这是谷歌浏览器的安全漏洞，我知道谷歌浏览器macos12上已经不能再更新最新的，这个安全又不是codex/chatgpt的，跟你们gpt的app没什么关系吧，我觉得你们只要关注你们自己的产品安全就行的codex/chatgpt,别的产品安全是其他公司考虑或者用户考虑的，你不能因为其他第三方或其他软件产品安全变相改变codex/chatgpt对macos12的支持吧；其他产品安全问题应该其他产品对应的公司或者使用者会自己考虑的，你们边界问题超出你们自己的产品线的，我们老电脑（macbookpro 2020 intel电脑相对老），更新系统对老电脑没有性能优化，反而更慢，所以不愿意升级macos
I used Codex inside VS Code, I asked him to modify /Applications/ChatGPT.app.
Actions did:
minos 13.0→minos 12.026.0Codex Framework:kVTCompressionPropertyKey_ReferenceBufferCount→kVTCompressionPropertyKey_MaxFrameDelayCountNSPreviewRepresentingActivityItem→NSImageEach replacement affected two occurrences. Consequently, some video-encoding or sharing/preview features may not work correctly.
Info.plist, because it already specifiedLSMinimumSystemVersion = 12.0.mark
官方还是没有解决的意思
