Every hour, I noticed these warnings in logcat:

2024-06-02 12:58:15.155 1823-2396 AppsFilter pid-1823 I interaction: PackageSetting{ab6cbdf varzan.extraKeyboardLayouts/10436} -> PackageSetting{8ffafde com.google.android.youtube/10260} BLOCKED 2024-06-02 12:58:15.156 1823-2396 AppsFilter pid-1823 I interaction: PackageSetting{ab6cbdf varzan.extraKeyboardLayouts/10436} -> PackageSetting{1704938 com.google.android.apps.maps/10262} BLOCKED 2024-06-02 12:58:15.156 1823-2396 AppsFilter pid-1823 I interaction: PackageSetting{ab6cbdf varzan.extraKeyboardLayouts/10436} -> PackageSetting{27b5bf com.google.android.videos/10295} BLOCKED

This happened with my fork but this fork does not modify any code, so there is something odd or even fishy.

This is really a three-file project.

Compare the manifest https://github.com/calin-darie/extra-keyboard-layouts/blob/master/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml

Against the Android docs https://developer.android.com/reference/android/hardware/input/InputManager#META_DATA_KEYBOARD_LAYOUTS

As an input method intent filter, this app will interact with any other app that uses keyboard input.

I don't have time to investigate for a better explanation of the messages. I honestly think the messages are misleading. But if you do find a way to supress them, please reopen.
