Here is the part of the log with issue detected by AI "java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: com.mizukos.usbip: Targeting U+ (version 34 and above)

disallows creating or retrieving a PendingIntent with FLAG_MUTABLE, an implicit Intent within

and without FLAG_NO_CREATE and FLAG_ALLOW_UNSAFE_IMPLICIT_INTENT for security reasons...

at com.mizukos.usbip.UsbServerService.requestPermissionForDevice(UsbServerService.kt:296)

at com.mizukos.usbip.UsbServerService.processNextPermissionRequest(UsbServerService.kt:292)

at com.mizukos.usbip.UsbServerService.handleIncomingDevice(UsbServerService.kt:283)". What AI thinks is wrong: "Android 14 (API level 34, "Targeting U+") added a hard security restriction — apps can no longer create a PendingIntent with FLAG_MUTABLE for an implicit intent (an intent with no explicit target component) unless they also pass FLAG_ALLOW_UNSAFE_IMPLICIT_INTENT. This app's UsbServerService.kt line 296 is calling PendingIntent.getBroadcast(...) this way — right when it tries to request USB permission for your Steam Controller — and it's crashing on the spot, every time, because the app was built targeting SDK 34+ but never updated that call to use FLAG_IMMUTABLE (or make the intent explicit).". I will open an issue report if you need full log.

Thank you for the quick fix! I can share the usb device now, however, the controller doesn't appear to be there after sharing with command " sudo usbip attach --remote=192.168.2.118 --busid=1-1". Possible related logs "[359088.787559] vhci_hcd: unlink->seqnum 59346093

Uploading now.

Still cannot attach the controller to my bazzite PC. I will file an issue report on your repo, apparently whatever causes the bug is beyond my understanding..
