[Feature Request] Please add INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS permission for Android 17 cross-profile routing #4246

Description

@word5355

Hi, thank you for the amazing app!

I recently updated to Android 17, and I noticed that cross-profile loopback communication (like sharing a proxy via 127.0.0.1 to a work profile) is now strictly blocked by default due to OS changes.

I was searching for a workaround and found that if an app declares <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS" /> in its AndroidManifest.xml, users can manually grant this permission via ADB to bypass the restriction.
(Reference: VentralDigital/InterProfileSharing#34 )

Would it be possible to consider adding this permission line to the manifest in a future update?
It wouldn't affect normal users since it remains ungranted unless an ADB command is used, but it would be a huge lifesaver for Android 17 users who need cross-profile routing.

Thank you for your time and all the hard work on this project!
