Still Error Name: Unhandled Exception when calling Toybox.Application.Properties.getValue

Error Name: Unhandled Exception

I've just realised that problem can be connected with no memory. Why?

- in app.onStart() I read STRING properties and no error

- in app.getInitialView (so after onStart()) I read BOOLEAN properties and error

So problem can be with properties of type="boolean" but not everyone have this error (e.g. I have never had it on my f6p in all my apps).

Maybe problem is with bad saving BOOL with GCM on ios (I use android) or GE (i don't use it at all).

I haven't yet had time to try to reproduce, but this sounds similar to issues we had a long time ago related to values being save/restored in a way that caused some type confusion. You'd get a value that is supposed to be a Boolean/Number/Float/Long/Double, and it would actually be a String. This led some of us to write code like this to try to coerce the bad type...

It isn't ideal, and you should not need to do this, but it can avoid app crashes. In the worst case it would act like your app isn't saving settings.

Note that Properties.getValue() is the newer way to do this, but the result should be the same as Application.getApp().getProperty().

even if it is instance method maybe should be

var v = Toybox.Application.getApp().getValue(keyString);

but

https://developer.garmin.com/connect-iq/core-topics/properties-and-app-settings/

says:
```
var mySetting = Properties.getValue("mySetting");
```
