Bluetooth pairing between any iPhone and a computer has never been supported. What are you trying to accomplish?

Bluetooth connection between 2019 MacBook Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max MacBook Pro running Sonoma OS, iPhone 15 Pro Max running iOS 17.02. Phone will not connect to MacBook via bluetooth, says "MacBook not supported". I'm fairly certain I've been able to connect my phone to the MacBook in the past. Is this a bug in either iOS 17 or Sonoma?

wanted to use it as a Bluetooth camera for FaceTime.I give it to use only with a cable.

But that doesn't seem to be possible.
