This was a super weird issue. Across Center was working wonderfully for me across two late model Macbook Pros each running High Sierra 10.13.3 I took one of the laptops away on a trip and when I came back I expected to be able to plug everything back in and have it work. Well... it did, for a little while, but then I restarted one of the laptops. The issue I was having was that the bluetooth connection was constantly connecting and disconnecting over and over and over making the client computer uncontrollable. Thing that I tried: - Turning on/off Bluetooth, unpairing, reconnecting, etc. - Restarted both computers - Deleting the apple Bluetooth files and let them get recreated on restart - Use the Bluetooth debug menu to unpair all devices and reset the Bluetooth module on both computers - Unplug all USB and other devices, reset both computers - Reset PRAM on both computers - Uninstall and reinstall Across Center on both computers - Probably more at this point that I can't remember Weirdly, I accidentally stumbled across what fixed it: - I ended up clicking on "Across Uninstaller.app" and selected the checkbox to remove all settings. Then, I clicked "Ok" and when it asked for my password I hit "Cancel". The uninstaller reported that the uninstall failed but after doing this on both computers, Across Center stayed connected and seems to be working as seamlessly as it was before I had these issues. I'm mostly adding this to help anyone else but also incase one of the developers can figure out why this happened and how to fix it. Any comments?
Hi Tim! Thanks for your interest in our across! I'm afraid that the issue may be this: https://community.acrosscenter.com/...-10-13-high-sierra-bluetoothaudiod-issue.118/
Maybe so - but starting the uninstall process and letting it fail seemed to fix it weirdly enough. Now it's been working smoothly all day.
Sorry. I didn't read your posting carefully, since I am very busy with fixing and optimizing Across at the maximum level. Here is the code that will be run in the condition: Code: tell application "System Events" get the name of every login item if login item "Across Center" exists then delete login item "Across Center" end if end tell It is just to remove the "Across Center.app" from the login-item list. You can run it in the AppleScript Editor. By the way, I have fixed so many problems and still have many another issues. Fortunately, I can look into the High Sierra issue in detail within some days and will do my best to fix it. I will take into account your case at that time. Thank you very much for your report!
I think I have found the cause of this issue in High Sierra, and reported it to Apple. In /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.bluetoothaudiod.plist, Code: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>Label</key> <string>com.apple.bluetoothaudiod</string> <key>POSIXSpawnType</key> <string>Interactive</string> <key>ProcessType</key> <string>Interactive</string> <key>LegacyTimers</key> <true/> <key>LaunchEvents</key> <dict> <key>com.apple.iokit.matching</key> <dict> <key>com.apple.rfcomm.incoming</key> <dict> <key>IOMatchLaunchStream</key> <true/> <key>IOProviderClass</key> <string>IOBluetoothRFCOMMChannel</string> </dict> <key>com.apple.a2dp.incoming</key> <dict> <key>IOMatchLaunchStream</key> <true/> <key>IOProviderClass</key> <string>IOBluetoothL2CAPChannel</string> <key>IOPropertyMatch</key> <dict> <key>PSM</key> <integer>25</integer> <key>IsInitiator</key> <false/> </dict> </dict> <key>com.apple.bluetooth.outgoing</key> <dict> <key>IOProviderClass</key> <string>IOService</string> <key>IOMatchLaunchStream</key> <true/> <key>IOPropertyMatch</key> <dict> <key>AgentPath</key> <string>com.apple.bluetoothaudiod</string> <key>StartAgent</key> <true/> </dict> </dict> <key>com.apple.avrcp.incoming</key> <dict> <key>IOMatchLaunchStream</key> <true/> <key>IOProviderClass</key> <string>IOBluetoothL2CAPChannel</string> <key>IOPropertyMatch</key> <dict> <key>PSM</key> <integer>23</integer> <key>IsInitiator</key> <false/> </dict> </dict> </dict> </dict> <key>MachServices</key> <dict> <key>com.apple.bluetoothaudiod</key> <true/> </dict> <key>ProgramArguments</key> <array> <string>/usr/sbin/bluetoothaudiod</string> </array> <key>ThrottleInterval</key> <integer>1</integer> </dict> </plist> <key>com.apple.rfcomm.incoming</key> line must be <key>com.apple.sco.incoming</key> like in the previous macOS versions.
