WebUSB works with MakeCode but not with MicroCode on Kindle Fire 7 #359

Kindle Fire 7:

Android 11
Silk browser, based on Chromium 104.3.37

Micro::bit V2 connected via USB-C adapter

the micro:bit is visible as a drive
can be connected via USB in Silk browser
used makecode.microbit.org to successfully create and flash program over Web USB

With MicroCode (after closing MakeCode)

copying over MicroCode hex file successful
USB connect dialog is successful
micro:bit logo (connect) button remains in the app
compiled program is not copied over
the "you need to update your micro:bit message" keeps appearing, even though the latest hex file was installed

Sometimes

the connect button does disappear and the micro:bit displays the "update animation", but still the compile program doesn't run

Notes

the microcode hex file copied using Kindle Fire works fine with laptop
