device.isConnected does not return the true connection state

The following code prints incorrect information as far as I can tell:

console.log('await device.isConnected()', await device.isConnected()); // logs false
await device.connect();
console.log('await device.isConnected()', await device.isConnected()); // logs false

The first log statement should be false, but the second log statement should be true.

Actually, this gives incorrect results as well, I would expect the bleManager to be maintaining the global state of the device at all times:

console.log('await bleManager.isDeviceConnected(device.id)', await bleManager.isDeviceConnected(device.id)); // logs false
await device.connect();
console.log('await bleManager.isDeviceConnected(device.id)', await bleManager.isDeviceConnected(device.id)); //logs false

This issue is still present on version 2.0.0. Everytime I try to check the status of a connected device by using isDeviceConnected it always returns false. Please check the following code, despite of sending a connected device Id, I always get Device AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF is NOT connected!:

const isBleDeviceConnected = async (deviceId = null) => {
    if (!deviceId) return false;
    const isConnected = await bleManager.isDeviceConnected(deviceId);
    if (isConnected) {
      console.log(`Device ${deviceId} is connected!`);
    } else {
      console.log(`Device ${deviceId} is NOT connected!`);
    }
    return isConnected;
  };

Context: I need to check by using the built-in RN AppState component whether a device the user was using before switching of apps (or after coming back from background) it’s still connected…

Is there any fix in progress or a workaround available?

Thanks in advance!
