Tree owes me nothin
For those having the issues with the app crashing on iOS 17.2 what I had to do was forget the tree. Restart my device. Launch the app and then connect to the tree and it is working fine. I think some of the changes Apple made to Bluetooth due tot he flipper fiasco caused some issues with Bluetooth devices and apps.
I don’t expect this tree to continue working forever, but it was fantastic while it lasted
