If you aren't signed up for TestFlight, please send me your email address
so I can add you to the list.

I just saw the following on Shearwater web page:

My Perdix/Perdix AI won't show up in my Mac's Bluetooth Preferences. What
gives?

Perdix and Perdix AI use a connection technology called Bluetooth LE or
Bluetooth Smart. This is different from Bluetooth (also known as Bluetooth
Classic).
*Apple has decided not to show Bluetooth LE devices in the Bluetooth
Preferences panel on Macs. They also don't show up on iOS devices'
Bluetooth Preferences.*

Don't worry, neither your Mac nor your Shearwater Dive Computer is
malfunctioning.  Shearwater Desktop handles Bluetooth and Bluetooth LE
pairing itself, so you normally never need to go to your Bluetooth
Preferences to set up a Shearwater dive computer.

You can connect to these dive computers from Shearwater Desktop in the
usual way.

Could this mean that the device cannot be paired with iPhone using the iOS
settings? Of course, I have already paired the DC with my Android tablet
and that might also affect my hardship... How did others pair their BLE
Perdix with iPhone/iPad?
