If I want apps to work with the beta(s) should I develop against main or what is published to crates.io, or stable?
Is it possible to get tokens for a development app when running a local testnet from main? I think the README is out of date at safe_network. See “Follow up” below.
Follow up: I tried running a local testnet using main and things have changed! I don’t see how to get tokens for my app. They all seem to have been swept to the foundation wallet, and then something sits there uploading Gutenberg books to the network. Meanwhile if my app tries it fails (panic!) with an “AmountIsZero” flag, when trying to create a FilesApi.
Long version
main seems to be being published to crates.io periodically with stable held back at significantly earlier versions. I see that crates.io is slightly behind main on some branches so the question is what is beta running? Presumably beta is main? Or is it crates.io?
What is recommended for apps to be built against to:
developing locally (e.g. with a local safe_network branch)
apps for participation in beta
I was using stable and keeping local versions of SN crates referenced by my app in step with that, but I suspect that will not work with the beta because that will be ahead of stable. I expected crates.io versions to also be in step with stable, and that ‘alpha’ tests were main, so I guess beta is either main or just behind and in step with crates.io but would like to be sure.
Comparissions
For stable I get the following versions:
sn_cli = { version = "0.91.4" }
sn_client = { version = "0.106.2" }
sn_peers_acquisition = { version = "0.2.12" }
sn_registers = { version = "0.3.13" }
sn_transfers = { version = "0.18.0" }
sn_protocol = { version = "0.16.6" }
If I cargo update (so crates.io) I get these:
sn_cli = { version = "0.93.6" }
sn_client = { version = "0.107.7" }
sn_peers_acquisition = { version = "0.3.4" }
sn_registers = { version = "0.3.13" }
sn_transfers = { version = "0.18.0" }
sn_protocol = { version = "0.17.4" }
And for main I get:
sn_cli = { version = "0.93.6" }
sn_client = { version = "0.107.7" }
sn_peers_acquisition = { version = "0.3.4" }
sn_registers = { version = "0.3.14" }
sn_transfers = { version = "0.18.6" }
sn_protocol = { version = "0.17.4" }

Yes wallet get-faucet 127.0.0.1:8000 will work for local build. I use
SN_LOG=all cargo run --bin safenode-manager --features="local-discovery" -- local run --build --clean --owner joshuef`
I’m still getting the same error with the faucet, which is why I thought the README was out of date. Here’s my exact commands:
git pull
git checkout alpha-cross-comp-fix
rm -rf ~/.local/share/safe ; SN_LOG=all cargo run --bin safenode-manager --features="local-discovery" -- local run --build --clean --owner happybeing
cargo run --bin safe --features local-discovery -- wallet get-faucet 127.0.0.1:8000
The last command gives this error:

I can see the genesis being claimed etc. and then the books being uploaded and paid for but I’ve never seen the above error and if I switch back to stable it’s fine.
