📝 Description

When logging with GitHub, I authenticate as usual but Gitify does not do anything with the callback URL and remains logged out.

🪜 Steps To Reproduce

1. Install via nixpkgs/nixos-unstable.
2. Open and login using green "GitHub" button.
3. Authenticate in GitHub.
4. Confirm prompt to open Gitify, or otherwise use the callback link on the page. It is in the form: gitify-dev://auth?code=...
5. Gitify remains logged out.

I see various instances of:

I also see a few instances of:

These latter instances are when I tried using the callback URL given from the GitHub auth flow, but changing the gitify-dev:// to gitify://.

If the installed version you have is using a gitify-dev:// callback, then that suggests you may have a pre release build installed... Not sure how to be honest...

Would you mind retesting by installing the latest from our GitHub Releases artifacts
