'WiFi suggestion API fail on Android
I've been trying to use the new Android WiFi Suggestion API with the code taken exactly from the example, but each time I try to connect to a network, when I call wifiManager.addNetworkSuggestions(suggestionsList) I get status 3 in response, which (according to this site) means IP provision failure. What does that mean? How can I handle that?
My app has all the required permissions and even some more (CHANGE_WIFI_STATE, ACCESS_WIFI_STATE, INTERNET, ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION, CHANGE_NETWORK_STATE, ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE), and the location is turned on. I tried with a few WiFi networks (all are visible in the WiFi settings), but still got the same IP provisioning error.

Had the same issue and found it quite confusing because status = 3 can mean two things: STATUS_SUGGESTION_APPROVAL_REJECTED_BY_USER or STATUS_NETWORK_SUGGESTIONS_ERROR_ADD_DUPLICATE.
In my case it was the latter. Basically the suggestion is remembered once submitted. I solved this by removing my suggestion before it's added:
wifiManager.removeNetworkSuggestions(suggestions)
val status = wifiManager.addNetworkSuggestions(suggestions)
