Syncing between Desktop and AnkiWeb not working

Hi! I just created an AnkiWeb account and am trying to sync the desktop Anki with the web version. However, each time I try to sync, I get the following error, even after restarting after holding the shift key:

Syncing failed:

It seems you’re using Anki 2.0, which is no longer supported. You can download Anki 2.1 from https://apps.ankiweb.net
