Critical bug fix for Batteries notification with no devices in v11.4

What's Changed

  • Fixed a critical bug that caused the app to crash upon opening if the batteries notification was enabled while no devices are connected to be displayed.
- If you are experiencing constant crashes of the app, please update immediately to this version

What happened?

  • I have missed to test the app without any devices connected.
  • Since the app does not start the battery service unless a device is connected due to efficiency reasons, that causes a crash when the notification tried to query the current battery data without the service running.
  • A temporarily workaround would have been connecting any device to show up which should stop preventing the app to launch.
  • Sorry about that (TοΌΏT)
  • Develop - Critical bug fix with batteries notification by @sameerasw in #227

Note: The keyboard actually isn't a feature that I wanted to prioritize because it's so complicated. But with the feedback I got, thought to add at least the bare minimum features with some personal touches. I am still not sure about language support as that has to be done manually for each.
