nRF Connect not working on OSX v10.11.1 iMac

[RichieJH]

Hi Team,

So I downloaded the new nRF Connect for OSX. I inserted my PCA10031 nRF51 dongle into my USB port and the relevant lights lit up. However nRF Connect does not let me choose the serial port, so I cannot use it currently. This it is the same if I insert the dongle before or after starting up nRF Connect. What am I doing wrong?

There is workaround for OSX described in here.

That workaround appears to be for corrupted packets over UART. I checked the J Link version I am running (it is Version 5.12 (2016-03-30)) and through the J Link.exe console entered J-Link>MSDDisable and I got the message Probe configured successfully. back. I even unplugged by nRF52 DK just in case there was some conflict. Still nRF Connect is not allowing me to select a serial port.
