Problems uploading sketches from Arduino Cloud

Hello, for about 7 days now I haven't been able to upload sketches from Arduino Cloud for IoT projects. Currently using a Mac. This is the error I get:

Flashing with command:{runtime.tools.esptool.path}/esptool -vv -cd nodemcu -cb 921600 -cp /dev/cu.usbserial-1410 -ca 0x00000 -cf /var/folders/9n/2vkkclxx5rq4wbg29l0w37bm0000gp/T/arduino-create-agent1662988587/PowerSensor2_jul30a.bin
Start command: fork/exec {runtime.tools.esptool.path}/esptool: no such file or directory

So far I have tried deleting and reinstalling the create-agent. Removed all Arduino programs, libraries, etc. and reinstalled them. Downloaded esptool from GitHub and put it in various folders. Even installed a system back up on my computer from when it worked correctly.

Any guidance on how to get it working again is appreciated.

I am not real clear on your problem. I am also on a Mac and I am aware of an ongoing issue re Mac but at 82 I don't remember the details. Maybe do a forum search on Mac?
I found it HERE

Thank you for your reply sonofcy. There is a problem with the ArduinoCreateAgent version 1.6 preventing it from working correctly with Mac.

Yes, that is what I posted at https://forum.arduino.cc/t/problems-uploading-sketches-from-arduino-cloud/1288083/2?u=sonofcy

Hello @scott905.

I have an update to share on this subject: The bug has been fixed and the fix is now released in version 1.6.1 of Arduino Cloud Agent. Arduino Cloud Agent will automatically self-update to the new version the next time you use Arduino Cloud while Arduino Cloud Agent is running.

Once the update has been completed, you can upload to ESP8266 boards from Arduino Cloud without encountering this "agent1662988587/PowerSensor2_jul30a.bin Start command: fork/exec {runtime.tools.esptool.path}/esptool: no such file or directory" error.

Please let us know if you still encounter any problems using Arduino Cloud.
