com.apple.logic10 - /Applications/Logic Pro X.app/Contents/MacOS/Logic Pro X

In Logic's CS screen... the only thing you see there is Logic Remote?

If not then again trash the Main LPX prefs and CS Prefs in exactly this way...

Delete the user preferences

You can resolve many issues by restoring Logic Pro X back to its original settings. This will not impact your media files. To reset your Logic Pro X user preference settings to their original state, do the following:

1. Quit Logic Pro
2. In the Finder, choose Go to Folder from the Go menu.
3. Type ~/Library/Preferences in the "Go to the folder" field.
4. Press the Go button.
5. Remove the com.apple.logic10.plist file from the Preferences folder. Note that if you have programmed any custom key commands, this will reset them to the defaults. You may wish to export your custom key command as a preset before performing this step. See the Logic Pro X User Manual for details on how to do this. If you are having trouble with a control surface in Logic Pro X, then you may also wish to delete the com.apple.logic.pro.cs file from the preferences folder.
6. If you have upgraded from an earlier version of Logic Pro, you should also remove ~/Library/Preferences/Logic/com.apple.logic.pro.
7. Restart the computer.

i can connect via Bluetooth but nothing works, faders are stuck to bottom of page and ping back if I move them,

This suggests you have another device/piece of hardware/software that is overriding Logic Remote's commands...

So, in this exact order..

Shut down Mac

Unplug everything midi/controller wise... from your Mac and leave it unplugged for the time being.

Make sure all other apps on iPad or iPhone have been quit and not just closed... so nothing is running in the background.

Restart Mac.

Then...

1. Quit Logic Pro X
2. In the Finder, choose Go to Folder from the Go menu.
3. Type ~/Library/Preferences in the "Go to the folder" field.
4. Press the Go button.
5. Remove the com.apple.logic10.plist file from the Preferences folder. Note that if you have programmed any custom key commands, this will reset them to the defaults. You may wish to export your custom key command as a preset before performing this step. See the Logic Pro X User Manual for details on how to do this.
6. Also delete the com.apple.logic.pro.cs file from the preferences folder
7. Restart Mac again.

Now Launch Logic Pro X..

Create a new project with a single software Instrument track..

Then try and connect to Logic using Logic Remote via WiFi or Bluetooth and test

In this exact order...

Remove Logic Remote Entry from CS Setup Screen

Quit (not close) Logic Remote App

Shut Down (not Restart) Mac

Soft Reset iPad

Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake/Power button and the Home button together for about ten seconds. The Apple logo will appear, and the device should complete the soft reset.

Start Up Mac

Launch Logic Pro X and create a new Project

Launch Logic Remote

Look for confirmation dialog box on Mac

If the above doesn't work over WiFi..Turn off WiFi on your iPad and then try Bluetooth... repeating all steps above...

If Bluetooth works then this indicates a problem with your home Network/Router.... (Make sure both devices are on the exact same WiFi network) or Firewall.

One other thing to try to discount any possible network issues is....

https://brianli.com/using-logic-remote-with-a-local-ad-hoc-wi-fi-network/

Then connect the iPad to that network....

Note: I changed the link to one specifically for Logic Remote use 🙂

I've never had the pop up/dialog box that you mentioned. This is quite the enigma

Well, whatever is preventing that dialog box appearing.. is why LR cannot connect to your mac because it will not do so until you give it permission..... via the dialog box that pops up on your Mac...

Something, somehow, is preventing it's appearance....

Single screen? if not, disconnect extra monitors and try again....

Otherwise...

As to what that might be? No idea.. but it's certainly a clue .......

So.... Basic troubleshooting time... to see if anything is installed that could be conflicting with something...

Please download Etrecheck from here...

http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck

..and then launch Logic Pro

Now run Etrecheck and post up the full report here....

Thanks...

Nigel

Okay!
