Stacktrace (sorry no debug symbols)

SUMMARY
kdeconnect will crash on every login on my system.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. After bootup, login to KDE (X11)

OBSERVED RESULT
Observe crash in kdeconnect - always reproducible.

EXPECTED RESULT
kdeconnect would not crash

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Ubuntu 24.04.1   (note this also happened on Ubuntu 22.04.4 which I recently upgraded from)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.11
KDE Frameworks Version:  5.11.5.0
Qt Version: 5.15.13

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

I believe this crash is due to company mandated security software which performs SSL MITM to snoop on traffic. My theory is that kdeconnect tries to reach out to some API on SSL (?) and does not recognise the returned response from this software as it does not trust the SSL certificate offered by the security software.

Thanks for the bug report! This issue has already been filed, and is believed to be fixed in newer versions of KDE Connect.
