What happened?

I am having trouble to get the Companion Device Manager (CDM) sample project to work correctly. It functions correctly after installing the app and associating the device. However, after rebooting the phone (which could be triggered by OS updates or manual restarts), the CDM does not recognize the associated devices anymore. This seems to work on Samsung phones after reboot, but not on different manufactures.

It works on:

• Samsung S20 (Android 13)
• Samsung S23 (Android 13)
• Samsung S23 Ultra (Android 14)

It does not work on

• Google Pixel 6a (Android 13)
• Nothing Phone 2 (Android 13)
• OnePlus 8 pro (Android 13)

I expect that the CompanionDeviceSampleService.kt would trigger the onDeviceAppeared method, when the associated device is in proximity of the phone. This works after installing the app and associating the device, but it stops working when rebooting the phone.

Does anyone know how to solve this problem and make it work on all Android phone models?
