Error on commissioning step 'AttestationVerification'; CHIP Error 0x000000AC: Internal error

[huytungst]

Thank you for your work.

I could get commissioning and control (on/off) my Matter light bubble without any problems with sample app ver 1.4.2.

After updating the app to ver 2.0.0, I'm stuck right at the step of commissioning with the same smartphone and the same Matter light bulb. In case of a virtual device, everything's still OK.

Device info:

• Phone: Samsung SM-A305N, Android 11.0 (API 30).
• Matter Device: Matter light bulb; Matter smart plug. These are Matter certified products and 've been sold to the market.
• Sample app v 2.0.0

Update 2: Same issue when commissioning via multi-admin device sharing from another app (Tuya Smart Life App)

[huytungst]

I see that my problem is quite similar to the issue #206.

Since it said it was a CHIP internal error, I've tried replacing the CHIP library with traditional .so and .jar library files (like v 1.4.2 did). I also tried installing the app using the default apk file. But I still got the same errors.

Removing comment-out of HomeScreen.kt line 259 solves this issue.
