Simulator: Settings > Manage Sensors > Add crashes on Mac

- SDK 8.1.0

- Apple M1 Max

- macOS Sonoma 14.5

The dialog does display "searching for all sensors..." for a few seconds before crashing, so I assume it has something to do with gathering scan results.

    Note: I don't have any of the following things: nRF52 dev kit, nRF52840 dongle, or ANT+ USB stick

    To use BLE in the sim, you need the nRF52 DK or nRF52840 dongle and a specific hex file flashed to it.  As far as a mac, if you try to use BLE without the needed HW, it will crash,  Heard that from a friend the other day.  He got the dongle and no crash.

    If true, it raises the questions:

    - is it possible for the sim to display an error message in this case instead of crashing?

    - why can't the sim also use "standard" BLE functionality in Windows or Mac (as opposed to requiring specific hardware)? It seems that other hardware supports ANT as well as BLE, but perhaps devs would like to test BLE functionality without buying additional hardware?

    I'd love to post the crash report but the forum won't let me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
