Hi, wenn ich Shift drücke und das BT Symbol klicke kommt das normale Menü (BT An/Aus, Geräte-Übersicht, Einstellungen), wenn ich Opt (mit oder ohne Shift) drücke und auf das BT Symbol klicke kommt ein erweitertes Menü (BT An/Aus, Name, Adresse, Version, Geräte-Details, Einstellungen), aber einen Debug-Eintrag gibt es unter keinen Umständen (MacOS 12.2.1).

Wo ist das Debug Menü?
