OpenVPN Disconnects Instantly on Connection Attempt (Flutter)

[RahimUllahAxlic]

I am using the openvpn_flutter package to implement VPN functionality in my Flutter app. The VPN connects and works perfectly on Android, but on iOS, it instantly disconnects as soon as I tap the connect button.

Steps to Reproduce:
Configure OpenVPN using the openvpn_flutter package.
Attempt to connect to a VPN server on iOS.
The VPN connection initiates but immediately disconnects without any error message.

Expected Behavior:
The VPN should establish a stable connection, similar to how it works on Android.

Actual Behavior:
The VPN connection starts but disconnects instantly.
No error message is displayed.
The same configuration works fine on Android.

Environment Details:
Flutter version: 3.24.4
openvpn_flutter version: 1.3.4
iOS Version: 18.2
Device: iPhone 14 Pro Max
VPN Configuration: .ovpn

Troubleshooting Steps Tried:
Verified that the .ovpn file is correctly formatted.
Ensured correct app permissions Network Extensions, VPN Entitlements.
Tested different VPN servers and configurations.
Checked iOS logs for any errors → No issues found in logs.
Tried the solution mentioned in this issue, which worked for someone with the same problem, but it did not work for me.

Additional Context:
This issue does not occur on Android; VPN works as expected there.
Any help or guidance would be appreciated!
