Desktop App doesn't launch properly in ChromeOS

[n-i-x]

When starting bluebubbles-desktop-app installed via deb the UI is transparent and the server is unable to connect. The following logs appear in the console when started from terminal:

I installed sqlite3 via sudo apt install sqlite3 and it still didn't work.

I was able to make it work by installing npm and the sqlite3 driver for node:

sudo apt install npm
npm install sqlite3 --save

After using it for a few hours, I've noticed some issues:

1. The UI window cannot close the application:

Error occurred in handler for 'close-event': Error: Image could not be created from /opt/BlueBubbles/resources/resources/resources/icons/128x128.png

2. Notifications don't seem to be working. I found these related ChromeOS bugs which are marked as fixed (and are indeed fixed as the packages were present on a fresh install of the Linux container).

I'm happy to help troubleshoot these issues on discord if you don't have access to a ChromeOS device.

I installed 1.0.4 RC1 and the install/launch issue and the UI issue where the app cannot close itself is resolved. I'm still not seeing any notifications.
