The device.address() thing doesn't work at all on Macs, iirc.

On macs, you apparently have to use "device.deviceUuid()" instead.

In most cases we just pass around the resulting string anyway, so
neither subsurface nor libdivecomputer should care.

The only exception is the pairing code. Which seems to take a
bluetooth address, not the uuid. So I don't know how that is supposed
to work on MacOS/iOS.
