Steps to Reproduce

Explain what someone needs to do in order to see what's described in Actual behavior above

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. check that bluetooth is enabled in system settings, and that there are no micro:bit "known" devices
  2. install scratch link from apple app store on macbook
  3. download scratch microbit hex from https://scratch.mit.edu/microbit and install on microbit
  4. check microbit is displaying the name on the display
  5. launch scratch link app
  6. launch browser
  7. go to https://scratch.mit.edu/, start new sketch, click Add extension in bottom right
  8. if safari, enable the safari extension and check that the icon turns blue
  9. select micro:bit option
  10. error message appears. Sometimes it says 'looking for devices'

I've validated that the microbit's BLE radio is working by connecting to it from an iphone using nRF Connect for Mobile (https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/nrf-connect-for-mobile/id1054362403)
