When I compile an app with a starter service to a device (which is connected via USB, should be the same with wifi connection) and the device is in standby or the lockscreen is visible I get the following error:
The device is a Nokia 7+ with Android 9.
If the device is unlocked everything works fine.
I guess the problem is that the activity starts in the background (because of the lockscreen) and then the starter service can't be initialized.
