6 months after I raised a bug about the iphone companion app not recording battery, and filling the HA log with errors - nothing’s happened. How do we actually these things addressed because I suspect it’s a very small fix.

### The problem
Log files filling up with errors where the mobile battery state… seems to be looking for an int, but is receiving a string. My log files are full of them making it hard to look into other issues.
### What version of Home Assistant Core has the issue?
core-2023.9.3
### What was the last working version of Home Assistant Core?

What time frame are you expecting from opensource (free) software?
And, why?
Someone in the GitHub thread said they had a fix - did you try it?
