battery.app fails to launch on M1 Air with Sonoma 14.5

[jonathan-jbs]

The issue is that battery.app fails with error "Error installing battery limiter: undefined".

I have installed with brew, also by download of dmg, same result.

I expected this to complete the installation and give me a CLI that runs.

Error logs executable 'battery' does not exist. File gui.log exists in ~/.battery... pasted below.

The internet is working fine, this report filed on the same machine.

I got roughly the same log outputs on M1 Sonoma 14.6.1 (also says Internet online: false), by installing with Homebrew and also with the standalone DMG file. The CLI version installed with the installation script worked just fine for me, at least that's an option. Thank you!

I'm also getting this error on M1 air on Sonoma as well. Would be nice if the DMG works out of box.
