Stuck on "Obtaining IP address" while using wifi AP

[DarthSid12]

I have a device running android 7 (API 24) so it should have access to the full suite of access point tools. I can set the ssid, manage password etc. But when I try to connect another phone to this hotspot, its either stuck at Obtaining IP address, or connecting. When I turn the hotspot off and on from settings, the client phone automatically connects instantly. Am I doing something wrong? Im using the example app.

Well, as for Android < 26, the APIs consumed are not documented and not public, therefore it is not stable and we don't actively support it. It is just there for legacy reason.

Feel free to file PR if you found solution/fix to your problem.

I looked a lot into it, but I dont see why it shouldn't work. Even if it is there for legacy reason, it is claimed to work by a lot of people who were doing it themselves. I was hoping you could take a look into it if possible. I would really appreciate it
