***

See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports
***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install kde-connect via homebrew as described here https://invent.kde.org/packaging/homebrew-kde
2. Start kde-connect and see that no devices are detected.

OBSERVED RESULT
No devices are detected

EXPECTED RESULT
Devices are detected.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
macOS: 14.2.1
kdeconnect-cli 23.04.3 (on mac)

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Installation via homebrew as described here: https://invent.kde.org/packaging/homebrew-kde

```sh
# setup tab
brew untap kde-mac/kde 2> /dev/null
brew tap kde-mac/kde https://invent.kde.org/packaging/homebrew-kde.git --force-auto-update
"$(brew --repo kde-mac/kde)/tools/do-caveats.sh"

# install kde-connect
brew install --cask kde-mac/kde/kdeconnect
```

Installation goes just fine but I cannot detect any devices, e.g. my android phone.
The android phone is detected on a fedora kde connect install so I guess the problem is with the mac install.

When trying to list I get the following

```sh
$ kdeconnect -l
error activating kdeconnectd: QDBusError("org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown", "The name org.kde.kdeconnect was not provided by any .service files")
error: The name org.kde.kdeconnect was not provided by any .service files
```
