Can't pair with dApp on android with WalletConnect

[clauxx]

Bug Report

Problem

Pairing seems to work fine on iOS but it's unresponsive on Android. When pairing, the 'session_proposal' event is never fired.

Potentially related: WalletConnect/walletconnect-monorepo#4468

Expected behavior

'session_proposal' event is fired when pairing to dApp

Actual behavior

'session_proposal' event is never fired

Reproduction

1. Connect on https://react-app.walletconnect.com (whatever network)
2. Copy the url
3. Login in the status app
4. Make sure WalletConnect was initialized
5. Run the :wallet-connect/pair with the copied url

Additional Information

• Status version: nightly
• Operating System: Android

Seems like the issue is in the current version of WalletConnect because it works fine with this one: https://github.com/WalletConnect/react-native-examples/tree/main/wallets/rn_cli_wallet_068_5 (which uses the older version of @walletconnect/web3wallet 1.8.8 and older version of react-native as well)

However, this one doesn't work:
https://github.com/WalletConnect/react-native-examples/tree/main/wallets/rn_cli_wallet

It shows the popup and expects the pairing to be established but it never happens.
