As of recently, you may occasionally run into the following error:

findmy.errors.UnhandledProtocolError: Failed to fetch reports: None

This appears to be caused by a change on Apple's side. As of v0.9.3, FindMy.py will automatically re-fire the request if it detects this error. However, this is very much a band-aid fix; the real underlying issue has not been identified yet.

The FindMy app on MacOS also appears to be receiving empty responses, so it's most likely an issue on Apple's side.
