Ensure your local Frida client matches the same version as the frida-server that was downloaded.

Installing Latest Frida Client (host)

If you get this error:

Failed to enumerate applications: unable to communicate with remote frida-server; please ensure that major versions match

That means your local Frida client is outdated. Update it as follows:

pip (inside virtualenv or globally)

pip install -U frida frida-tools

pipx (preferred)

pipx upgrade frida-tools

Or install an exact version:

pipx uninstall frida-tools
pipx install frida-tools==17.0.1
