not compatible with the current version of VS Code (version 1.55.0)

Unable to install 'github.copilot' extension because it is not compatible with the current version of VS Code (version 1.55.0).

How can this be, since this is the latest?

I have the same issue, with VS Code on a university-administered computer. No such problem on my personal computer. Perhaps it is do to with licensing?

Same problem: Unable to install 'github.copilot' extension because it is not compatible with the current version of VS Code (version 1.56.2). Any ideas?

I had the same issue as well: Unable to install 'github.copilot' extension because it is not compatible with the current version of VS Code (version 1.55.2).

• MacBook Pro 2020

I was able to fix it! I followed this fix.

Workaround 1: Move Code out of Downloads and into the Applications folder.

Workaround 2: If updates still don't work after moving Code to the Applications folder, you can fix it with xattr:

sudo chown $USER ~/Library/Caches/com.microsoft.VSCode.ShipIt/*
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Visual\ Studio\ Code.app

Worked for me, hope it works for other people.

Same issue. Anyone find a way to install it?
