Code connection error
If it is difficult to use the education edition, I sometimes use the Bedrock edition to teach.
However, it has not been possible to connect to Bedrock Edition through code connection since a few days ago.
Maybe it's because of the update of Bedrock Edition 1.18.30.
Is there a solution to this problem?
The message comes out.->Please update the application to the latest.

There is not current update or fix we can offer at this time. You can try using the Minecraft Education Beta we offer (1.18.1) to see if that changes or resolves the issue. Thank you for your patience.

If we own Minecraft for Windows can we run the educational edition or is it a different license?
My grandchildren are getting restless and want to resume learning to program via Code Connection.

Greg!
Love to hear your grandchildren love code connection. You can either get code connection for bedrock edition and learn more here - https://educommunity.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/360047555251-Get-Started-With-Code-Connection- or you can even purchase your own Minecraft: Education Edition license here! - https://educommunity.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/360061370372

Danny,
I subscribed to the Education Edition, however, I cannot login because I only have a personal MS Windows account. The system is requiring a work or school account.
Do you have a workaround?

Is there perhaps an open standard/document (or can it become open) that a developer can use to interface with minecraft bedrock edition to spawn and control that agent so that one can perhaps do some more advance stuff where the standard tools might be lacking e.g. connect to external APIs or IoT devices etc. I think all that exists in the Java edition of minecraft.

Hey Greg!
Just wanted to clarify, so you have purchased Minecraft: Education Edition with a commercial license but you are having trouble logging in?
0 -
No. It let me sign up for an annual subscription which I apparently cannot use. I did not understand that I must be an educator to use the Educ Ed.

My understanding is that Minecraft Bedrock has been re-branded as Minecraft for Windows 10. I own that version, which no longer works with Code Connection and is what brought me here.
I was hopeful when you suggested that I buy an Educ Ed license. Not so hopeful now.

Hey Greg,
You are able to use Minecraft: Education Edition without being an educator.
You can learn more how to purchase commercial licensing here: https://educommunity.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/4415061129236-Purchasing-Minecraft-Education-Edition-for-Homeschooling-Family-use

Sorry to hear!

Do you know others with this error as well?

Danny your suggested link above refers to downloading Code Connection 1.4 and below... which is not available... since we are on version 1.50 and that is the only available anywhere for a while now.
And that is where the problem lays, which everyone is having since many months based on this very thread... and on and off for quite few years based on these other threads.
The problem is that when using Minecraft Bedrock Edition on Windows 10 and trying to connect the Code Connection app to it, so we can use the Microsoft MakeCode and anything other coding paradigm (like Tynker, Python, Javascript for that reason) the Code Connect app shoots an error saying to: "Please update this application to the latest version"... which already is the latest and only version available on the MS Store, or any other official links.
Even on the Microsoft MakeCode very site where are the most updated instructions and links (referring to Code Connect 1.50) to setup MakeCode for Minecraft it includes Minecraft for Windows 10... but as everyone is telling, me included, that is NOT working.
Here included are some Screenshots:
P.S.: as you can see from the last screenshot, the MS Store has some weird or maybe outdated information about the Release Date of this app being 3/27/2017... and the support for the many year old versions of Minecraft and Minecraft Education Edition??... but not the latest??

Is there a download link that I'm not aware of then?
Because I tested the Windows store version (the only one i could find) just yesterday myself, with my up to date Minecraft Bedrock for win10, and it gave me the "Please update" message.0 -
Hey all,
Thanks so much for your patience with the issue, sorry some of you are still unable to use Code Connection.
Pieter, we would love to get it working for you and the others!
What OS and version are you on Pieter?

Hi Danny
Pls see my windows, connect and minecraft version. As far as I know both minecraft and connect are on the latest versions. Not seeing update notices for them.
I also notice now that the connect popup does mention Education Edition. It used to work on the bedrock edition.

Thank you for sending us that information. We will investigate to see what we can find.

Great information, thank you for helping the community out!!

There is a test and some info that might help. Make sure you have operator status before trying any code. When using Code Connection with bedrock, whether or not the user has pressed the play button in Makecode, typing the command 'chicken' will automatically close the chat window, so you'd expect something to happen with code. However, the code will actually only execute if the player has pressed the Play button in MakeCode (which could be an easy thing to overlook if you're accustomed to using CodeBuilder in Minecraft Education. There are some upcoming patches from the Bedrock Edition and Education Edition that may help. Beyond that there is no Dev update that they have provided us. I hope that helps.

David Yilma except that since the Minecraft education edition update to 1.18.32, a huge portion of the users can't do multiplayer class activities anymore and those that are able to connect regularly loose the connection to the game repeatedly in a single class session.

Aleece Landis it is frustrating but it doesn't do anything to do with the Code Connection for Bedrock Edition. I currently don't have any issue with connection in Minecraft Education Edition.

STILL NOT WORKING. After several frustrating hours trying to update my older computer, I just bought the $12/year license so I could use code connection on a brand new laptop. Now I see that code connection doesn't work on bedrock or Education Edition and HASN'T FOR 6 MONTHS.
What is really aggravating is the error message on the code connection "Please update this application to the latest version." Because of this message those of us who value persistence will spend the hours and the money to try to solve an impossible problem.
Please have customer service instruct the developers to change this message to acknowledge that this a Microsoft Problem, NOT a customer problem, and one that is low on their list of priorities to fix. Perhaps we have to get these people some help for this product though some social media work.
