  1. Our Bluetooth connectivity implementation on Android is buggy.
  2. We don't implement BT scanning, therefore we can only connect to devices that are already paired with the operating system.

Bluetooth on Android is notoriously unreliable and a hassle to work with. Android 8 introduced the CompanionDeviceManager to help applications pair with and connect to Bluetooth devices in a more sane manner.

Investigate whether we could use this technology for connecting to Bluetooth printers.
