Ive just upgraded to Mac OS 12.1 and VictronConnect is still not paring with devices it seems. Has victron registered the issue with Apple? As a developer its likely to have more clout than us as users. It would be really useful to get this sorted. Im using the Beta Test version of the connect app.
UPDATE 2022-02-28: on the latest macOS beta, Bluetooth pairing works again. This is 12.3 beta 4. We couldn't find any official information about when it is due for release, but in some blogs people mention March. Also our support ticket with Apple had an update: a potential fix is identified and will be added into a future OS update.

Hi @Frangar , and any one else. Indeed, unfortunately Bluetooth pairing with a new Victron device does not work on a Apple device running macOS v12, also known as Monterey.
We're working to fix that, and in touch with Apple about that. Progress on this is slow, there is no solution on the horizon at the moment; its a real difficult one to fix or work around without Apple themselves fixing something.
Note that there was another issue with Monterey, which was that VictronConnect crashed during connecting - which is solved in the latest VictronConnect version, 5.52, released a week ago.
@mvader (Victron Energy) Do you have an https://openradar.appspot.com/page/1 bug number or https://developer.apple.com/forums/ post about the underlying issue? I am a long term iOS and macOS developer myself and have some developer contacts that may or may not be of help...
Hi, I had no problem with 15.1 .. Now updating to 15.2 .. let see
Rob
Thats a result....lets keep everything crossed that it stays working in the official system release. Thanks to all for working on the issue especially @mvader (Victron Energy) & @jonmarinello@gmail.com
Good news everyone MacOS Monteray 12.3.1 on my M1 MacBook Pro has fixed the Bluetooth VictronConnect issue, I just tested on all my devices and they now successfully connect. It has taken Apple quite a while to get around to fixing this software bug.
Cheers
