not certain of impact, needs more investigation.

[hawkbee1]

Only on certain android devices (Pixel 6 and @HugoNDO's motorola phone).
Issue is opened in air gap repository.
airgap-it/beacon-android-sdk#15

create secure storage record: beacon_status
before beacon init: set beacon_status to attempting
After beacon init: set beacon_status to OK

before beacon init, if status is already "attempting" => disable beacon
