How to use Nest API version 1.1

Question

Is there a secret to updating a client to use the new API version (1.1 announced today)? My requests (REST) are still returning the version 1 results.

According to the documentation released with the update today: https://developer.nest.com/documentation/cloud/client-version

You need to:

Visit the Clients page and select the edit gear icon in the client summary

Select [Change permissions] and select [Yes] to confirm the change

Select [Update client]

That's it, you're done!

The end user also has to approve the update in the Nest app (mobile or presumably web) – Dianoga Nov 12 '14 at 18:27
End user approving updates is only applicable if the permissions are actually changed (IE: Add or removal of any permissions). Following the instructions above merely updates the API version to get access to new fields that fit into current permissions schemes. – Graham Nov 17 '14 at 18:44
This process also isn't working for me; humidity doesn't show up even after performing the steps above. – bugfixr Nov 28 '14 at 12:40

I had to create a new client before I could see the new data fields
