Based on something I read in some other forum post, I was able to connect MS on my Chromebook to the Companion app.
The key was to login to my router and look at the DHCP leases, find the entry for the Chromebook, and use that IP in "Manual WiFi Connect" on the Companion. Of course I had already clicked "Connect to Companion" in MS on the Chromebook.
Mike: I understand that MS displays the first non-loopback IP it finds. Perhaps if you find 100.115.0.0/16 you could list all IPs found and display an appropriate message for Chromebook users. I daresay that many/most MS users won't understand what I said in the previous paragraph (but I'm sure you will understand it).
