I just tried that and the error still pops.

The changes I made while using this package are:

• add this uses-permission in android/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml
• override the onActivityResult in android/app/src/main/kotlin/xxxmypackagespath/MainActivity.kt as shown in the documentation

Not sure of anything missed or put in wrong place, the app pops permissions request correctly, vpn connects just fine, but keeps poping that forground service error.

        android:foregroundServiceType="systemExempted"
        android:exported="false"
        tools:replace="android:exported" />
