GCR / Google Artifact Registry credHelper issues with Mac Docker Desktop

Docker Desktop
1

Version: 24.0.6, build ed223bc
Mac OS X Version: Latest Sonoma

I’m having some issues getting either of the methods for authenticating either GCP Artifact Registry or GCR using either of the two typical methods (either the gcloud CLI with gcloud auth configure-docker, or % docker-credential-gcr configure-docker -include-artifact-registry) to allow me to push to Artifact Registry or GCR using Mac Docker. While I understand these are via third party tools, running docker push with -D or -l debug isn’t giving me any additional information on what it’s trying to do when
using those plugins. The failure is more or less immediate.

I’ve tried using the same commands from a Linux workstation, and it works fine. Is there any way to get additional debugging information on why Docker is either not using, or getting some kind of failure from, the gcloud helper?

I’ve used these methods successfully in the past on other machines / with older versions of Docker desktop.

{
	"auths": {},
	"credsStore": "desktop",
	"credHelpers": {
		"asia.gcr.io": "gcloud",
		"eu.gcr.io": "gcloud",

	},

}

(it will say gcr when using the other plugin, but that doesn’t work for me either; I also tried temporarily updating the gcloud bit to the full path of the gcloud binary to see if that helped).
