I have to use Connections -> Connect device -> Quick app on the GoPro itself to connect to the Mac where i am running demo example

Is there a way to connect via BLE automatically if GP has been already paired?

We see this issue happening as well where we can join 2 GoPros successfully via BLE. After 24 hours, if we try and reconnect to the GoPros, One will automatically reconnect where the other one won't connect at all. Both were paired the previous day. Even the GoPro Quik app can't connect to the one GoPro that doesn't reconnect. It would be great to get some clarity from GoPro around this and any steps we can take to automatically reconnect all GoPros.
