Hi, i have an old Mac (2013) with Big Slur (OS 11.7.10) . I installed Oracle VirtualBox and in that i loaded Open Suse. in Open Suse i installed watchmate. When I launch it, does not find the bluetooth. Here the log

while I do not think this be an issue with your code, perhaps could be useful for others that are trying to execute the same from a virtual machine to know how to fix that..

Yeah, it is outside of the application control. The only log coming directly from Watchmate code here is this:

[ERROR watchmate::ui::devices_page] Failed to initialize bluetooth adapter: internal error: D-Bus error

in response to bluer::Session::default_adapter() error, and there's nothing it can do about it.

Does the bluetooth work for other apps in your VM? Is the adapter forwarded there from host OS? Sorry for a bit presumptuous question, but just to be sure.
