Happy to accept PRs and merge + release them, I haven't gotten around to building with API33 yet for the one app I have that uses this, so it is not a priority for me at the moment.

[mikehardy]

My main device, where I use this feature in my app, is still Android 11 so I haven't seen this

You can thumbs down my comment about needing PRs all you want but THIS IS OPEN SOURCE

It is not "Hey, the whole internet should create free software for me and I don't have to do anything"

You'll have to check your sense of expectation and entitlement and do some work sometimes if you need features

And you certainly should not be thumbs-downing and upset with maintainers who don't do all your work for you for free!

Amazing
