Hi @mbrybag
Glad to hear the Beta release worked! Rest assured we don’t ship anything malicious with our application but false positives can occur. We should have a new release out soon with the same changes in the Beta. For now you can continue to utilize it if you wish.
I am having this same issue. I haven’t re-set up everything using the beta yet, hoping I don’t need to. I can’t access any of my connected sites, which is halting some work.
Latest Local version, on an M2 Mac
I’m having the same issues with all of my sites. Can’t push or pull to WP Engine – errors like: “Local couldn’t load the file list!” and “Uh-Oh! we ran into an issue when pulling from WP Engine.” I tried downgrading to 8.1 and upgrading to the 8.3 Local Beta, but get the same errors in both.

I can confirm Beta 8.3.1 Mac Apple Silicon has fixed my connection issues to WP Engine.
When is the final version of this update coming out?
Yep, looking forward to the latest version.
It’s great that we have the beta as a work around, however.
Glad to hear things are working for you @Niall and @breklinAmsive! We hope to have the new release out soon but are still doing some troubleshooting with users that having seen success with the Beta yet.
Along those lines, @nkoblitz and @jacob700dev are you still having issues when using the Beta?
@jacob700dev could we get your Local logs to investigate with? @nkoblitz I will pass yours along to the dev team for further insight.
I was able to get it working with beta! is there a way to transfer everything over without having to recreate the sites?
Glad to hear it! If you want to keep working in the Beta your best bet will be to just export a site from your Local app and import it into the Beta. Or you can pull down a fresh copy from WPE as long as you don’t have any changes or updates you need.
Mine just started working again out of the blue last Thursday/Friday. However, I am using 8.2.1 (not Beta). I do have to ‘Connect host’ every time I open Local now, but I am NOT complaining since I am able to push and pull sites again.
Glad to hear it! Thank you for the update @nkoblitz. 
Hey, I just downloaded and installed the latest version of Local, Version 8.3.1+6650, released yesterday.
I’m still seeing the same issues when both pushing and pulling “all files”.
Same problem with “select files” too.
Screenshots and log file attached.
If anyone else is still seeing the same issue since the update, let me know.
For now, I’ll continue using Local Beta.

Hi @Niall
The error Local is throwing states that we’re attempting to use an SSH key that is already in use/not unique. Local is responsible for creating and sending that key to WP Engine when pushing and pulling, and it is deleted both locally and on WP Engine when a user disconnects from WP Engine. While we diagnose why this is happening, here’s a potential work around:
Disconnect Local from WP Engine (log out inside of Local within Preferences > Connected Accounts)
Delete unused SSH keys from WP Engine Portal (https://my.wpengine.com/profile/ssh_keys → If the key starts with Local Connect for… you’re safe to delete - Local will regenerate it the next time it tries!)
Delete unused SSH keys from your machine - delete the Application Support/Local/ssh (Mac) / AppData\Roaming\Local\ssh (Windows) folder from your machine. Again, Local will regenerate on the next push!
Try connecting Local to WP Engine again in the Connect process and try pushing or pulling your site. This will trigger Local to generate and submit a new, hopefully unique, key!
Thanks Nick,
I’ll give it a shot soon. Currently at Wordcamp Taiwan.
Kind regards,

Sounds good! Keep us posted and we’d be happy to help further!
Hi Nick,
I think I got it.
I have two emails setup as Owner-users, one is a gmail address, the other is a custom email.
I originally had it connected to the gmail address, but switched it over to the custom address.
I also received an email to the custom email address from WP Engine. It said that a new SSH key was created.
Magic sync/select files seems to be working now. Here’s the logs if that helps.
