on android, the Live Activities and Device Notifications toggles in settings are kind of misleading right now.
Live Activities: when you flip the toggle on android, you get an alert that says "Couldn't finish enabling Live Activities - This device could not be registered with T3 Connect, so Live Activities won't appear yet. They'll start once registration succeeds." which sounds like something is broken or misconfigured. but looking at the code, canRegisterRemoteLiveActivities() just returns Platform.OS === "ios" — so registration never even attempts on android. the toggle shouldn't imply it's a transient failure when it's actually just not supported yet.
Device Notifications: the toggle is permanently grayed out on android with no explanation. the notification permission check bails early on non-iOS (process.env.EXPO_OS !== "ios" → status set to "unsupported") and the toggle is disabled when unsupported.
would love to see both of these come to android eventually (especially push notifications). but until then it would be cleaner to either:
- hide both toggles on android entirely, or
- show them as disabled with a subtitle like "iOS only" / "coming to Android" so people don't waste time troubleshooting their server/relay setup thinking something is misconfigured
