Android app does not auto update unless open.

I am not sure how you want to track this on github. I would suggest linking to this in your readme. https://support.google.com/pixelphone/thread/6068458?hl=en (or write your own guide).

My OnePlus 8 Pro kills the background service after a few minutes rendering the app useless unless you grant it "special allowance".

Also you need to reopen the app after a reboot it seems.

@Hooolm I recall fixing the "reopen after reboot", but I will look into it again, thanks for pointing it out. And thanks for the link, will add it to the readme/help!

https://dontkillmyapp.com/apidoc is a pretty good resource for this. There's even a library that can be used to display device specific info directly within the app.

The autostart permission is also handled differently on different OSes. There's no one size fits all solution that you can implement as a dev.
