1.2.2, Always ask for backwards incompatible update after re-launch the app

[sunnyxiong2020]

"Reverting back to 1.2.1", is the best solution currently for this issue.
1.2.1 seems to work well even with MacOS 15.1 beta

What is the issue? (required)
Installed the 1.2.2, quit app by "quit" button in the drop down menu, re-launch the app in the app folder.
Then the app asks for backwards update.every time

What exactly did you do to produce the issue? (required)
see above description

Expected behavior (required)
The backward update shall only happen once, not all the time

Screenshots (optional)
If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem. On a Mac you can click control+command+shift+4 to create a screenshot that you can paste into this field with command+4.

Error logs
If you know how a terminal works, please paste the content of battery logs here. This allows me to see potential errors on your device.

Did battery fail to install? Use tail -n 1000 ~/.battery/*/log instead.

Same problem here, m2 MacBook air. I reset the log files and relaunched, new log files are attached.

gui.log
battery.log

I should also note that when I reboot, battery is not running and so my hardware battery charges up.

You have to add it to the startup items in settings in order for it to launch at boot.

Same problem here.
Now it charges always up to 100%.

Same problem. I added battery to startup items... now it asks when I restart my computer.

Same issue. It seems to keep trying to reach out to the setup script in this repo to keep reinstalling each time there's a login. I looked at the setup script and it's innocuous enough but yeah, there's something wrong w/ the install if each it's trying to reinstall itself. Like Troubadixderdritte, i also added this application to the startup items, and I get this issue.

The log doesn't say anything interesting but attaching since that's what i would use to debug stuff.

Just to be clear, this bug has nothing to do with booting the computer: the bug occurs when the app loads. You can trigger it just by quitting and restarting the app. Also the behaviour of the bug alternates. First it asked for a password. and it says that it needs to install a backwards incompatible update. The next time the app is quit and reloaded it just displays the message without asking for the password.

This bug was introduced in 1.2.2. You can end this problem by downgrading to 1.2.1.
