MacOS 12.0.1 Monterey Bluetooth issues

Hi, I am an application developer for Mac. Our application uses bluetooth to connect to our hardware devices.

Since the upgrade to MacOS 12.0.1 Monterey Bluetooth is broken customer wide. Hence pairing works but our driver cannot connect (code worked for MacOS 10.7 - 11.3). The internet reports a lot of Bluetooth issues related to Broadcom BT on Monterey and the Bluetooth Framework has changed significantly by Apple.

  1. Where can I find detailed information about Apple's Bluetooth changes ?

  2. Should I just wait until Apple fixes this from their side ?

Any other guidance is appreciated.

Thank you?

After 5 hours/2 days working with Apple tech through phone, we did everything mentioned above and even more at least twice, still NOTHING WORKS. We had to send iMAC back to a local store and see if they have a better solution and voila~ after spend $267 for changing the wireless card, bluetooth/airdrop/mouse finally all function well. It seems that the Monterey system has bugs with the wireless/bluetooth card. It seems when updating OS, it's time for the Mac store to get profit from old customers.

Same problem; older MacOs had bluetooth working poorly; Monterey really screwed things over big time.

After calling apple support for the 4th time I finally got an answer: Pairing Iphones to a mac via bluetooth is no longer expected behaviour, the only thing we can do is submit feedback via this page: https://www.apple.com/feedback/

MacBook Air M1 chip experiencing the same Bluetooth connection issues described above since the 12.2.1 update bluetooth mouse pointer works but logitech mouse is NOT discovered in Bluetooth Devices and scroll wheel does not work now serious cost to productivity

The Macbook Air 2017 - Monterey 12.3 - still has problems with connecting to bluetooth. the first connection is normal, each next writes connected but the sound is flowing from the Macbook or the soundbar rejects the connection. Monterey broke bluetooth. Everything works fine on Big Sur. Apple fix it at last !!!

The Bluetooh issue has not been fixed.

These are Bluetooth services of the Nokia 515 phone listed in a simple Xcode compiled application: (previous macOS):

The phone's "Nokia PC Suite" Bluetooh service is not present on the macOS 12.3, this is a serious bug. The "Nokia PC Suite" Bluetooh service is the service which I need.

Same here.

The issue has been spotted on i) an M1, 2020 running 12.3 with an iPhone XR and ii) on a MBP 15 2019 runnint 12.3 with an iPhone 6S.

12.3.1 release notes doesn't refer anything about a potential bluetooth fix :(

This Bluetooth bug was not fixed in macOS 12.3.1.

anyone is solved his problem of bluetooth turning on after monterey 12.3.1? I updated to it but yet can’t turning on bluetooth of my core i5 macbook anyone does have better solution? I delete plist rest smc reset bluetooth reinstall mac old and new versions clean install mac try unsigned blufix kext try pkill bluetoothd in terminal try bluetool by brew and … but didn’t solve it and I cant turn on bluetooth and using my magic mouse 2

I installed 12.4 public beta about 6 hours ago but bluetooth hasn’t fixed yet. I think Apple did it on purpose to force people to buy new devices.

Has no one found a solution yet?

This is frustrating. it is still not fixed in 12.3.1 APPLE Please Fix it, or use a proper QA before release !!! Your devices such as Mouses, keyboards, etc ... are using BLE for connecting to your macs. !!

has not fixed yet in 12.4 beta 2! I am astonished why apple not fix it?

I have the same issue with electron apps with macosx 12.4 Beta (21F5058e); I can use the node library but if I compile it for electron it stops working. Same code works on Big Sur, I think it has something to do with plist permissions aswell but couldn't get them to work yet!

I am using a third-party screen mirroring software, and I detected a system bug in the mac os in the settings, how can I solve it?
