Particle.io Electron firmware “Error writing firmware…Incorrect platform id”

Question

When flashing an updated application to a new Electron device running 0.6 firmware, I get the following error:

Error writing firmware...Incorrect platform id (expected 10, parsed 0), use --force to override

I can flash an old application just fine, but it's not accepting any updated or new ones.

Answer 1

Simply need to build for the correct device platform in the WebIDE. Go to Devices and check that the little star next to your device is selected (gold).
