Any idea why AppCompatTextView (AndroidX) with autoSizeTextType is not working in Tablets and Compat theme?

Question

I have been trying to add autosize to my app but it's failing. It never resizes the text. Here you have a preview where both Text View types (TextView and AppCompatTextView) and they look exactly after applying the required properties.

This is an image from a Huawei emulator:

I tried the following combinations and all look exactly the same:

My style is this one:

<style name="Theme.GNowTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat">
    <item name="android:colorPrimary">#000000</item>
    <item name="android:colorPrimaryDark">#000000</item>
    <item name="android:textColor">#BEBEBE</item>
    <item name="android:textColorPrimary">#FFFFFF</item>
</style>

You can check the app here (it's written in Xamarin.Android):

Any idea what am I doing wrong? Thanks.

P.S.:

• Any idea why the android:maxWidth="128dip" is not working also?
• I'm testing in a Nexus 10 with Android 11 in an Emulator.
• I don't have a physical tablet to test.
