nrfconnect for mac fails to pair nrf51 dongle with peripheral

[logitech_cp]

nrfConnect for MacOS won't allow pairing of a BLE peripheral with a nrf51 based dongle.

nrfConnect Version 2.4.0.

dongle PCA 10031 V1.1.0

Mac OS version 10.11.6

A BLE connection with a peripheral is possible, but pairing and bonding fails with error: Fail to reply security parameters (NRF_ERROR_INTERNAL)

The same peripheral and the same dongle are able to complete a connection and pairing w/ bonding when tested on a Windows 10 host.

Hi, 

 

Could you try the workaround suggested by Jørgen here. It's described here (workaround 2).
