Unable to connect host on Android
I was able to connect host on iPhone but on my Android (Android 15), I need to use Tailscale in order to connect to host either by using Wi-fi and mobile data.
I can access the host on browser, but not on the Immich app itself.
Immich app doesn't appear in the list of apps for Nearby Devices permission settings so it might be that Immich app on Android does not use the NEARBY_DEVICES permission.
How do any of you guys that using Android 15 connect to host on Immich app?

I believe the app must declare the NEARBY_DEVICES permission in its manifest then only I can allow permission to use my Wi-fi.

Update: After turning on Tailscale VPN, I connected to host. And disable VPN. Then I restart my phone, and now I was able to connect to host with wifi without using Tailscale. Issues solved. Sorry for the inconvenience.
