Cannot run last applet on Archlinux

Hello, I have Matebook 14 2021 AMD Ryzen 5 version. I have battery issues on Archlinux KDE (kernel 5.14 and lts-5.10) so I want to try matebook-applet to solve my problems (system sometimes =KDE applet and console command upower -e= shows me battery is charging even if laptop is on battery only, baterry settings don't work, it behave like in AC power). Maybe that applet will help I think but I cannot start last version because dependency libayatana-appindicator. I install libappindicator but it still asks for libayatana-appindicator I try to build from AUR but have build error. I install matebook-applet from AUR but this version is old 2.5.0-1.
Regards,

First of all, the applet likely won't help with your AC/battery detection issues, it doesn't even touch these things, so don't get your hopes too high.
As for running the applet, you can try the -legacy build (available from the releases page), that one requires libappindicator instead. For details about why see this comment.
Hi, thanks for help. Legacy build works but I see errors in terminal:
[emilka@matebook matebook-applet-amd64-3.0.2-legacy]$ ./matebook-applet

These errors show that the applet is in the read-only mode and can not change any settings. That is the expected behavior in case you didn't make your settings user-changeable as described in the Readme.
OK, thanks for Your help.
Regards.
