[bug] Issue with Appkit - WalletConnect QR Method and BSC Testnet in AppKit

Summary

Connecting via WalletConnect QR on the BSC Testnet (Chain ID 97), the network cannot be selected during the wallet connection prompt. The expected behavior is for the app to request a signature to connect or add the network (if not already selected) and proceed with the network switching flow. Instead, this process throws an error.

This issue specifically affects the WalletConnect QR method with the ethers browser provider and does not occur in Web3Modal, where the flow functions as expected.
