iMovie on my Mac will not open iMovie Mobile projects.
I get the following notice:
Failed to import iOS project. The project’s version is too new.
I am running the most up to date version of Monterrey and iMovie 10.2.5.
As far as I can tell this is the most up to date version of iMovie.
I am running iOS 15.1.1 on my iPhone 12.
Any ideas?
Try this.
First drag your iMovie application to the Trash, BUT DO NOT EMPTY THE TRASH YET!
Open the App Store and click on your account bottom left.
This should take you to your "Purchased" page. ( even though iMovie is free)
You should see iMovie listed on this page ( along with other apps..Garage Band e.t.c )
You should be able to update from here.

If you want to keep a copy of iMovie 10.2.5 then before dragging to trash do this...
Control+ click on the iMovie Application in your applications folder and select Compress iMovie. This will save your current iMovie as a zip file that you can keep in case you want to use it later.
The problem that you describe has been reported by others. Take a look at the thead in the link below.

I have no idea whether or not this makes a difference to your situation but the most up to date version of iMovie for Monterey is 10.3.1, not 10.2.5 that you are running.
There isn’t an update to iMovie 10.3.1 available to me in the App Store.
Thanks so much of taking the time to write this reply.
This solved my problem.
