This is an issue caused when using Android 14 Devices. Is there anything we can do to solve this?

Thanks for reporting this issue!
It seems like issue #200 already mentions this issue so I'll close this as a duplicate.

Is there anything we can do to solve this?

Community help is definitely needed to help maintain this repo, especially testing changes as I can't do it by myself (see #188)

@GarvinChanderia does using the version of the code on the main branch (not pub.dev) solve the issue for you?
