I read from another website, that there is a need for a version in the new composer update in your composer.json Here the link: Laravel-11-Error

In the new version of Composer, I believe that after version 2.7.0, there must be a "version" property at the beginning of the file composer.json, below the "name", like this:

{
"name": "laravel/laravel",
"version": "8",
"description": "The Laravel Framework.",
"keywords": ["framework", "laravel"],
"license": "MIT",

Just add this property and the message will disappear.
