"is charging" shows "no" while charging

[alexander-potemkin]

Describe the bug
My MacBook is charging, app shows voltage, but shows 'is charging' == 'no'.
That is an old bug, I've just got my hands on reporting it.

Details:

• Device: MacBook Air M1
• macOS: 14.5
• Application version: 2.10.11

Don't see any problem here. 8W doesn't look like the battery is charging.

@exelban , it's quite sufficient to charge notebook for a few hours thought... And shouldn't it be charging, if input != 0?

[exelban]

I don't know, it's macOS decides. But it looks ok for me.

[alexander-potemkin]

Ok, let's raise the bar up then :)

[alexander-potemkin]

To rephrase - I have never seen this flag set to 'Yes'. However my Macbook has been definitely charging...

[exelban]

hmm, need to check if apple does not change their API. Because this value is from macOS.

[alexander-potemkin]

It seems like API might be alright - below is a screenshot from System Information app.

That's interesting...

[exelban]

but you are looking at the app, not api

And according to that screenshot it's not charging)

[exelban]

I have checked on my MacBook and everything works fine.

[alexander-potemkin]

but you are looking at the app, not api

I believe the app uses API; does it not?

And according to that screenshot it's not charging)

My point exactly! It's launched with 100W cable connected at that moment.

I have checked on my MacBook and everything works fine.

Are you on Intel? Or it's M* laptop?

@exelban , it seems like this API call / flag means that the battery is charging now. Below is a screenshot from the same laptop that is charging.

I believe it might be beneficial to rephrase the 'Is charging' to 'Now charging', just for such narrow cases of curiousity, like mine :)

Thanks anyway for the fantastic app and your support!
