Custom SF Symbol gets error "not interpolatable"
I'm trying to make a custom SF Symbol. I've made some new custom symbols successfully, combining existing SF Symbols, so I understand the process. But as soon as I use vector files from my previous work, I get the error, "The provided variants are not interpolatable." - even though it has shapes made with vector path. Template set up - Variable I use sketch to work on the template I have separate layers for Ultralight-S, Regular-S, Black-S File saved as SVG What is wrong with my template? Thanks!

Creating Custom Symbols
I created a custom symbol with the variable template in Symbols 3.0. When I check the template in Symbols 3, it says it's missing the guidelines but gives the check mark for everything else. When I import the symbol into the custom symbols folder, the app crashes. I found the way to delete it so the app stops crashing but I'd like to understand what/if something is wrong with the svg file I am creating.

"The symbol could not be imported. The template version number must be present in the SVG file. Make sure that the version number text has not been converted to outlines."
How do I resolve this issue when trying to re-import a custom SF Symbol into Apple's SF Symbols app? Is there an exact export configuration I'm missing in Sketch or Figma?
