Android device as peripheral, Skips pair dialog

Question

I'm developing an Android app that utilizes Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) functionality. In my app, my device acts as a periphera. However, I've noticed that the pairing prompt dialog, which the Android system normally displays, is being skipped during the bonding process.

I understand that starting from Android 12, the system behavior for Bluetooth pairing has changed, and the pairing prompt may not always appear. However, I would like to ensure that the pairing prompt dialog always shows up on Android 13 to provide a consistent user experience.

Is there a way to solve this issue and ensure that the pairing prompt dialog is consistently displayed when bonding as a peripheral device on Android 13? I would greatly appreciate any insights, workarounds, or best practices that can help me achieve this goal.

Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Code:

private val broadCastReceiver: BroadcastReceiver = object : BroadcastReceiver() {
        override fun onReceive(context: Context, intent: Intent) {
            val action = intent.action
            if (BluetoothDevice.ACTION_PAIRING_REQUEST == action) {
                val bluetoothDevice = intent.getParcelableExtra<BluetoothDevice>(BluetoothDevice.EXTRA_DEVICE)
                if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(context, Manifest.permission.BLUETOOTH_CONNECT) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
                 
                    ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(
                        context as Activity,
                        arrayOf(Manifest.permission.BLUETOOTH_CONNECT),
                        BLUETOOTH_CONNECT_REQUEST_CODE
                    )
                    return
                }
                bluetoothDevice?.setPin(BLE_PIN.encodeToByteArray())
                bluetoothDevice?.createBond()
                
                if (bluetoothDevice != null) {
                    ConnectionManager.connect(bluetoothDevice, context.applicationContext)
                }
            }
        }
    }

I've attempted to use the setPairingConfirmation() method, which has been a valid approach in previous Android versions. However, since I'm targeting Android 13, this method is no longer suitable.
