This error means the app has not been given access to read the messages of the device. You can manually give it permission via the settings > apps > permissions on your device or use a plugin to request permission from the user. You'll also need to make sure you have the correct imports in your manifest file too (these are outlined in the readme)

Thanks @davidstoneham, I thought only adding permission in manifest file was sufficient. Used separately asked permission beforehand and it works as expected.
