Allowing access to control Mac causes bluetooth disconnects

Open LongLane opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Hi, I just experienced this issue now after granting Telephone access to control my Mac (to pause Music playing). I noticed that as soon as the call connected, my mouse and keyboard were disconnected. Once I had managed to terminate the call, they reconnected.

I am using a Mac Studio running macOS Monterey (12.6.5)

This is very, very strange. The permission to pause music is very specific. It's not a generic permission to control the Mac. The app that supports the remote control like the Music app exposes Apple Script interface for that. The Telephone app then uses very specific functions like checking if it's currently playing and tolling play/pause. It does this via Scripting Bridge. And that's all. No relation to Bluetooth whatsoever. Unless it's a problem in macOS itself. Could this be a coincidence?

Just FYI: I could not replicate it. It might as well have been a problem with macOS and nothing to do with Telephone.
