Does BLE scanning / downloading work on Mac OS X 13 for anyone else? (It doesn't for me unless I use the QT6 build)

There are 55 fixes to the QtBluetooth Darwin backend since 5.15. I see a few 
"Pick-to: 5.15" to indicate the fix should be picked to the 5.15 branch, but I 
don't see those commits in the 5.15 at all. Looks like there's a major 
refactoring that happened early in 6.x time so those cherry-picks failed and 
were abandoned.

That major refactoring is probably the reason why it's working now on Qt 6.
