- Sending messages must be done outside of the UI thread -> use coroutines for this - Kotlin coroutines require a scope, therefore I included the androidx lifecycle dependency, and switched the DeviceActivity to be an AppCompatActivity (otherwise the lifecycle scope did not work) - This also required changing the themes to be AppCompat themes (the design should be equal to the previous themes), and bumping the SKD targets to 32

As described in #2, sending messages from the Android app to the Garmin watch (in my case the Connect IQ simulator) did not work and resulted in a

ConnectIQ.IQConnectType.TETHEREDinMainActivity.kthere:connectiq-android-sdk/Comm Android/app/src/main/java/com/garmin/android/apps/connectiq/sample/comm/activities/MainActivity.kt
