Hello,

I'm trying to use aranet4 on my macbook but I can't scan the aranet4 device.

Here the logs :

I ran into this issue too. The problem is that the scanner needs permission to access bluetooth from Mac OS, but my terminal (in this case, iTerm) wasn't smart enough to show the popup window to authorize it. The two options for solving are:

1. Run the command from an IDE (in my case PyCharm), which should show the popup
2. Go into mac settings > Privacy & Security > Bluetooth and add your terminal as an authorized application

@blackrez Did this resolve your issue?

FWIW I hit this on macOS 13.6 (Ventura) using iTerm2, and samGbos's solution fixed it :)
