Installing through composer installs incorrect version

[baronvertigovongrahamthesecondofsealand]

Describe the bug
Installing or updating through composer, using the wpengine/advanced-custom-fields-pro package through the connect.advancedcustomfields.com repo, installs an incorrect version.

To Reproduce

• Be using PHP 7.2, and have that set in the platform section, or required in the require section
• Add ACF Pro repo to the repositories section of composer.json
• run: composer require wpengine/advanced-custom-fields-pro

Expected behavior
Should install a version that works on PHP 7.2.

Version Information:

• WordPress Version 6.5.4
• PHP Version 7.2.34
• ACF Version > 6.2.10

Additional context
This seems to be due to the breaking changes in ACF 6.3+, but perhaps not taken into consideration in the repo.

Hi @baronvertigovongrahamthesecondofsealand we'll look into making sure platform requirements are respected on update, but for now please lock your version number of ACF in composer.json to 6.2.10.

Still Problem

Error 404 when installing through composer , 6.2.9 working fine

@hissmconsid that's a different problem to this issue. This is not a supported way of downloading ACF with Composer.

Please use our official ACF PRO Composer repository https://advancedcustomfields.com/resources/installing-acf-pro-with-composer/

Is this method https://connect.advancedcustomfields.com/index.php?a=download&p=pro&k=ACF_PRO_KEY&t=6.2.10 completely deprecated ?

Thanks

Yes now you have to used ACF Pro way to install
