  Have you found anything? From ANT tester it seems that firmware does not support it.
  Can I downgrade to get it working ?

  Seriously, I am going to service with this. If they cannot fix it, I will return the phone.
  On next upgrade they might turn off the WiFi or maybe screen.

  Try downloading ANT Radio Service app from playstore.

  Hello Akhil,
  
  Of course, I did. I've checked all with Ant tester app. It shows that the firmwares does not support it.

  This service is previously pre-installed in most of the android devices.

  now we have to manually download it from playstore.

  Search for ANT Radio Service app from playstore.

  your problem will be solved.

  ;-)

  The OP has stated that he has Radio Service installed. I have the same problem, Ant+ not working after upgrade to 8.1, all necessary apps installed the upgrade has broken something. Ant Tester states that Built in Firmware has no service ?

  of course I have ANT Radio Service installed. I hope that someone from HMD is reading this so it can be fixed in future release.

  I have spent days on Chat to Nokia support but they want to pass the problem on to Ant+, to Android, or to the retailer that I bought the phone from. They will not try to understand the issue or take any responsibility themselves. They even suggest that I use bluetooth devices to replace my Ant+ devices. They will also not give me a telephone number to call saying support is given bt Chat and email only ! Finally they ask me to wait until next week and contact them again, as the only one person in Nokia that can answer my questions is on holiday !

  I have had a very similar experience, I am curious how many Nokia users on 8.1 or 9 actually have ANT+ working? I bought a Nokia 8 and I really liked it, but this is a deal-breaker.
  I think the silence from Nokia/HMD is indicative that this is not an important issue for them.

  I had pretty much given up and was in the process of returning the phone when I started playing with the ANT Radio service settings. I was able to get the service running on a Nokia 8 on Oreo 8.1 by changing the ANT Radio permissions.  See full solution here: https://community.phones.nokia.com/discussion/41078/fix-for-ant-not-working-on-android-8-1-oreo/p1?new=1
