I am unable to pair my Apple Vision Pro with MacBook Pro M3 running Sonoma 14.6


I'm having trouble pairing my apple vision pro to my macbook pro M3, my macbook pro is on sonoma 14.6 and i have tested pairing a visionOS1.2 and 2.0 vision pro but it still doesn't work, i have a mac mini that pairs and connects fine to the headsets and those are the steps i tried to do on vision pro and macbook pro to pair them together until now but with no success :



On the same windows wifi hotspot


On the same iPhone hotspot 


On an other wifi hotspot


Tried to clear remote devices, still not recognized


tried to turn off and turn on developper mode still nothing 


tried to reset network parameters 


tried to restart headset 


tried to restart Xcode 


tried to restart mac 


just after restart the headset showed up and i clicked pair and typed in the code but then the headset was still in "disconnected" and couldn't connect to mac


tried to restart mac and headset 


tried to rename headset 


tried to switch mac 


tried 1 headset on at a time


tried to clean build folder

It's really frustrating. I first find out that the AVP doesn't work with any Microsoft app that uses enterprise authenticator app (which is the primary use case for work), so can't use Teams, Outlook, etc. Then I try to connect my AVP to my work MBP m3 and lord behold, it also doesn't work as a virtual display, it's not recognizing my computer either. I've tried all the things you did as well and no luck. It seem this is the most expensive productivity brick I have ever wasted my money on. Only use case at the moment is watching movies.

Thank you for the followup reply.


Check for Updates from Apple:

Go Here: Update visionOS on your Apple Vision Pro - Apple Support


Contact VisionPro:

Go here, and contact the Vision Pro. Perhaps they have the answer, such as a bug update: Contact Us - VisionPro. Change you location, if it does new show up correctly. That's the link that pops up when googling it.

"Vision pro not pairing Macbook with pro: yes i've asked to the dev community and here too, i don't get how i'm paying for apple care on both of my devices and there's no one at apple that are helping me with my problem and i have to ask to the community

Contact all those Involved (Developers and Manufacturers):

Seems you’ve done lots of troubleshooting. So, hardware is all that you’d need AppleCare+ for. Look up the specs of any other hardware taking place here, and contact the manufacture, requesting assistance. Incompatibility seems to be the culprit here.
