On my ZTE Blade v8 Mini running Android 7.0 I installed Magisk, Xposed Framework for Magisk v89 and Xposed module Three Steps Ahead (missing in official repository). Rebooted my device and could see the module activated in Xposed Installer. When I launch the module either from within Xposed or as usual Android app it crashes endlessly. I installed Logcat Extreme and recorded the app's logs:

Can anyone help me to figure out why the module/app crashing and how to fix it?
P.S. It also crashes on any 8.x and 9.x devices I tried
We should use Context.MODE_PRIVATE and it will work!
