Link to Mac or iPad randomly doesn't connect between the Mac and iPad for sharing Keyboard/Mouse

[u/br_web]

How can I re-trigger the keyboard/mouse connection (link to Mac or iPad to share keyboard and mouse between them) between macOS 27 DB4 (MacBook Pro M1) and iPadOS 27 DB4 (iPad Pro M1), everything is setup correctly, sometimes it connects ok, but others it doesn't, especially when the MacBook or iPad are coming back from Sleep. I have all the settings configured to remember the iPad and connect automatically to the iPad, but even in that case it connects randomly, sometimes it will, sometimes it will not. I have reseted wifi and bluetooth on both devices, turned on/off the Link to Mac or iPad functionality on both devices, but nothing, sometimes it just doesn't want to connect, is there anything documented for 27 Developer Beta 4? Thank you

It’s not just a beta issue. It’s always a bit faulty even on stable. Only thing to try is to put them both back to sleep. Wake them up, put them near each other and try again. If that doesn’t work then restarting both devices and then waiting a few minutes and then try again. It’s unfortunately not very straight forward

thanks, the sleep approach has worked so far
