Android Mobile SDK fails to initialize Connect IQ if compiling using Android SDK 30 and running on Android 11 devices

I've encountered a weird issue when compiling my Android companion app with Android SDK 30 and running on physical Android 11 devices. (tested on Samsung S21 and Pixel 2 XL running Android 11).

ConnectIQ fails to initialize after:

mConnectIQ = ConnectIQ.getInstance(this, ConnectIQ.IQConnectType.WIRELESS);
mConnectIQ.initialize(this, true, mCIQListener);

The listener's onInitializeError() will be invoked with error status: GCM_NOT_INSTALLED even though Garmin Connect Mobile is correctly installed.

If I change build.gradle to use compileSdkVersion 29, the initialization will succeed and my companion app works flawlessly.

Note that this issue does not seem to appear on Android 10 devices. I don't test older Android version though but. I assume this issue only applies to Android 11.

Brad.ConnectIQ what does it mean it's fixed? Then why we still see the problem with the latest connectiqjar (1.4), and latest sdk (4.0.4)?

hey have to tried setting 'ConnectIQ.IQConnectType' to 'TETHERED'? I was able to resolve this issue using the following code:

```

val connectIQ = ConnectIQ.getInstance(this, ConnectIQ.IQConnectType.TETHERED);
connectIQ.initialize(this, true, object : ConnectIQ.ConnectIQListener {
    // Called when the SDK has been successfully initialized
    override fun onSdkReady() {
        // do any post initialization setup
        textView.setText("Garmin Connect IQ Ready!")
    }

})

```
