Bluetooth pairing between iPhone and Mac Mini M1 "not supported"

Hi. I'm unable to connect my iPhone (iOS 15.1) to my Mac Mini M1 (MacOS 12.0.1). The initial pairing seems to work as the code verification pops up on both the iPhone and the Mac, however it never actually connects and I get the following message:


Connection Unsuccessful

"Name of my device" is not supported.


Forget Device (button)


Has anyone run into same issue?


Mac mini, macOS 12.0

"Can you confirm if 'Debug' comes up using Monterey? I get the advanced menu when following your steps but there's no 'Debug' menu item that appears."

No. The debug menu is not part of Monterey. The only way to do this is to restart your computer, or use a Terminal command:

In macOS 12 Monterey, performing the above is not a part of the GUI (Graphical User Interphase)*. However, there is an alternative route: To reset the Bluetooth Module on MacOS Monterey (and maybe other versions to come), you can reset the Bluetooth Module through use of Terminal.**

Use this Command:

sudo pkill bluetoothd
