1. Create an Android app that targets Android SDK Level 34.
2. Use mobile-payments-sdk version 2.0.0-beta2
3. Use a production Application ID
4. Deploy the app to an Android device which is on Android 14.
5. Call MobilePaymentsSdk.settingsManager().showSettings
6. Try to pair with a Square reader by holding down the pairing button.

The app gets stuck in a loop where it keeps throwing this exception:  
kotlinx.coroutines.JobCancellationException: Parent job is Cancelling; job=JobImpl{Cancelling}@ccfc8f1  
Caused by: java.lang.SecurityException: net.salespad.square: One of RECEIVER\_EXPORTED or RECEIVER\_NOT\_EXPORTED should be specified when a receiver isn’t being registered exclusively for system broadcasts

Are there any workarounds for this or plans to fix it?

Okay, you may need to apply this [workaround](https://github.com/square/react-native-square-reader-sdk/issues/226#issuecomment-1957970206) till Android 14 is fully supported in the next release. 🙂
