Hi, I have an App KeyPad that lets you use your mac keyboard as a bluetooth keyboard for your iPhone, TV, iPad, another Mac, Windows PC.

Ever since the release of MacOS Ventura this app is no longer working. I have raised feedback report in december, and there is no activity on it. FB11869248
Essentially if I call publishedServiceRecord with a 16bit UUID in "0001 - ServiceClassIDList" the bluetoothd crashes and kills all bluetooth connections (Mouse, keyboard, headset...everything) and then reconnects. This is 100% reproducible.
What is interesting is that if a user installs my App on MacOS Monterey, it works, and if they upgrade to MacOS Ventura, it will continue to work. But if they install it new in Ventura it will not work. Even more interesting, because my app was installed in Monterey, all OTHER similar apps will work on Ventura.
I suspect that this is some sort of permission issue but I am not getting any support.
Anybody see something similar.

My App "KeyPad - Bluetooth Keyboard" emulates a bluetooth keyboard on Mac OS.With the release of 10.15.3 My app has stopped working. When I try to connect with the app from an iPhone/iPad (through bluetooth settings on the phone) I get a message "Pairing Unsuccessful Pairing took too long". I get this message in under 3 seconds. Other similar apps are also not working anymore.The funny thing is that it works fine with non-iOS devices.This issue seems to be fixed in the 10.15.4 beta release. The app works fine there.Is this a known issue? Any workaround?I am thinking of making a release of the app that detects 10.15.3 and gives a message to the user that it will not work...but that also means that submitting this app for review wont work because the app cannot be tested on the latest release of the OS (10.15.3)...Any recommendations/suggestions?https://apps.apple.com/us/app/keypad-bluetooth-keyboard/id1491684442?mt=12
