I try to install Simplenote on my Skagen Falster 3. Google Playstore always displays "Installing..." (DE: "Wird installiert..")

After some minutes i get thrown back to the watch face, but app is still installing.
Other apps i tried get installed fine.

### Expected
Install App successfully

### Observed
App keeps installing and installing

### Reproduced
1. Select playstore in wear os
2. Click "Apps on my smartphone"
3. Choose Simplenote
4. Click install
5. Wait some minutes

Device Make: OnePlus
Device Model: 5T
Android Version: 10
Simplenote Version: 2.13 (125)

Smartwatch: Skagen Falster 3

Research direction

Start by reproducing the installation flow in Google Play Store on the listed OnePlus 5T and Skagen Falster 3 configurations, then inspect the Android project’s Wear OS packaging and installation configuration. Done means Simplenote installs successfully from the watch’s “Apps on my smartphone” flow without remaining stuck at “Installing...”.
