🔴 Failed Checks

• Config Schema JSON: schema is invalid - required should not be a boolean property on individual fields.

Runtime Issues:

• ⚠️ Plugin crashes when started with the following configuration:

  {
    "platform": "ICloudSMTP"
  }

  Error:

  expected startup but failed - Plugin initialization error detected
  

  This needs to be fixed so that the plugin does not send Homebridge into a crash-restart loop. The plugin could:

  • Handle missing required configuration gracefully with proper error messages
  • Provide sensible defaults for missing values
  • Validate configuration during startup and log helpful warnings
