This seems to happen for the following reason

It is happening here [see // <---- AT THIS PLACE ITS HAPPENING !! ---> ]

public void bindInternal(@NonNull InternalBeaconConsumer consumer) {
        if (!isBleAvailableOrSimulated()) {
            LogManager.w(TAG, "Method invocation will be ignored.");
            return;
        }
        synchronized (consumers) {
            ConsumerInfo newConsumerInfo = new ConsumerInfo();
            ConsumerInfo alreadyBoundConsumerInfo = consumers.putIfAbsent(consumer, newConsumerInfo);
            if (alreadyBoundConsumerInfo != null) {
                LogManager.d(TAG, "This consumer is already bound");
            }
            else {
                LogManager.d(TAG, "This consumer is not bound.  Binding now: %s", consumer);
                if (mIntentScanStrategyCoordinator != null) {
                    mIntentScanStrategyCoordinator.start();
                    consumer.onBeaconServiceConnect();
                }
                else if (mScheduledScanJobsEnabled) {
                    LogManager.d(TAG, "Not starting beacon scanning service. Using scheduled jobs");
                    consumer.onBeaconServiceConnect();
                }
                else {
                    LogManager.d(TAG, "Binding to service");
                    Intent intent = new Intent(consumer.getApplicationContext(), BeaconService.class);
                    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O &&
                            this.getForegroundServiceNotification() != null) {
                        if (isAnyConsumerBound()) {
                            LogManager.i(TAG, "Not starting foreground beacon scanning" +
                                    " service.  A consumer is already bound, so it should be started");
                        }
                        else {
                            LogManager.i(TAG, "Starting foreground beacon scanning service.");
                            mContext.startForegroundService(intent); // <---- AT THIS PLACE ITS HAPPENING !! --->
                        }
                    }
                    else {
                    }
                    consumer.bindService(intent, newConsumerInfo.beaconServiceConnection, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE);
                }
                LogManager.d(TAG, "consumer count is now: %s", consumers.size());
            }
        }
    }

I can pick this up.

tried multiple attempts to import 2.20.2 but implementation only fails for this version

Please make sure you are using Java 17 when using 2.20+. This is required for the latest Android build tools. Your app's build.gradle should include something like this:

compileOptions {
    sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_17
    targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_17
}
kotlinOptions {
    jvmTarget = '17'
}

I have confirmed the official Kotlin reference app builds properly with 2.20.2 with a build.gradle like above.
