Contactless reader failed to connect

Hello
I’m jumping on here because I’m also having this issue where reader connect flow is displaying connect confirmation, then updates to say failed to connect immediately after.
It was working fine on both my devices (pixel tab and pixel 6) and pairing had no issues until today when I installed an updated apk for testing and found that the readers would fail to connect on both. devices are android 15.
There are several conversations here about this but I’m not finding any that say what the resolution is. I’ve got one sdk on the device, readers connect with Square app. I’ve forgotten in bluetooth and restarted devices. Would appreciate any guidance on this please.
running sdk 2.02
same issue as described here too: Mobile Payments SDK Reader Connection Issues But aside from the reader sdk suggestion, I don’t see anything on how this was resolved.
