<p>welcome to the GPGTools support platform. Sorry you are having problems using GPG Suite.</p>
<p>The situation you are seeing is the following. You created your OpenPGP keys with gnupg 2.1.x on linux. Then transferred your keys to macOS. GPG Suite comes with gnupg 2.0.x and since the keys are not downward compatible you are running into the situation you described.</p>
<p>We are internally testing gnupg 2.1 and will soon offer a nightly build that comes with 2.1.</p>
<p>Should you need your keys urgently:</p>
<p>GPG Suite is not ready for usage with gpg 2.1.x.</p>
<p>You need to export your sec/pub key which was created with 2.1. In order to do that, 2.1 has to be installed on your system, so you may have to re-install 2.1 in case it was uninstalled. Ensure there is a password set for all secret keys created under 2.1. After that, please export the secret keys:</p>
<p>open terminal.app and paste the following command:</p>
<pre>
<code>gpg2 -a --export-secret-keys > ~/Desktop/secret_keys.asc</code>
</pre>
<p>Please do not deleted anything. Then uninstall 2.1 and using 2.0.30 re-import the exported file to GPG Keychain.</p>
<p>Let me know if this worked.</p>
<p>All the best,<br>

<p>we have a first <a href="https://releases.gpgtools.org/nightlies/GPG_Suite-gnupg2.1-3n.dmg">GPG Suite</a> test build which integrates gpg 2.1. Here is the <a href="https://releases.gpgtools.org/nightlies/GPG_Suite-gnupg2.1-3n.dmg.sig">signature file</a> for that release.</p>
<p>It would be great if you could test this build and let us know if run into any trouble. Please note, that downgrading to the current beta release will require additional steps in case new keys were created using this test build. Depending on the test results, gpg 2.1 may soon land in the beta branch.</p>
<p>All the best,<br>

<p>Installed and reloaded my GnuPG 2.1.X keys and all appears to be working again on the MacOS side of things.</p>
<p>I appreciate the hard work you put into this project. A donation is headed your way. :)</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>If you run into any trouble using gpg 2.1, please re-open or file a new discussion.</p></div>Steve
