Description Lynne Chapman 2025-09-14 08:48:20 UTC 
Please note I am not very tecchy, I got ChatGPT to do this for me

On my iPad 6th generation (model iPad7,5) running iPadOS 17.7.10 (21H450), KDE Connect 0.5.2 from the App Store crashes immediately on launch. The app shows no splash screen or UI — tapping the icon just returns me to the home screen. This happens every time.

Steps to reproduce:

Install KDE Connect 0.5.2 (build 5) from the App Store.

Launch the app on iPad 6th generation, iPadOS 17.7.10.

Observe: app quits instantly.

Expected result:
App should open and show the device list, or at least request Local Network permissions on first launch.

Actual result:
App exits immediately; no UI is displayed.

Environment:

Device: iPad 6th generation (iPad7,5)

OS: iPadOS 17.7.10 (21H450)

App version: KDE Connect 0.5.2 (build 5, bundle ID org.kde.kdeconnect)

App source: App Store (item ID 1580245991)
