I have the Android TV Remote on an iPhone XR connected to my Nvidia Shield TV.

It keeps asking me to pair my remote with a 4 digit/letter code which is fine the first time. But it prompts me to pair every time I open the app.

The 4 digit code will pop up on the Nvidia Shield while the app just says "Connecting" and hangs. I have to hit cancel in the app and the Shield several times before it allows me to connect and re-pair again.

I tried deleting and reinstalling the app on the iPhone as well as doing this on the Shield:

Settings > apps > Android TV Remote service (system app) > clear data > reboot

Anyone else experience this with the iOS app and/or Nvidia Shield? Any solutions?
