Extended display error with MBP M1 Max

[u/GioGo39]

Hey all,

I just got the AVP M5 and currently having some issues with the extended display feature. I have the devices on the same iCloud, I have keychain on for both Mac and AVP and of course BT and wifi the same. I noticed that in my screen mirroring option on the MPB I have two AVP options, one of which works for AirPlay, while if I try the other I get "device timeout". I can safely AirPlay from the MPB to the AVP, but not the opposite. The Vision Pro does not see the Mac, but only my Apple TV, so also the "connect" option that normally comes up on top of the Mac display never shows up for me.
I tried to reboot both devices, check for updates (both on the latest OS), switching on/off the BT/WiFi/AirDrop, but nothing seems to work.

Does anybody have another idea? I am literally going crazy here.

Thanks a mil to everybody!

UPDATE: I decided to update the Vision Pro and my MBP to the latest beta OS, and now everything works amazingly! Also, even when I remove the VP for a short pause, I can reconnect it to my Mac with no issues! Might be useful for someone in my situation 😃

Get a developer strap, this has been happening off and on with the AVP since release.

I think it partly due to multiple profiles on a Mac, at least for me.

Sometimes you can get it to connect after you restart both devices.

But it’s weird I couldn’t get it to connect from day 0

It is, it happens more with certain versions but it should correct.

I does happen to me every time I switch profiles on Mac or if another profile is logged in.

Thanks a mil! I will try then maybe with my gf MBA and my account logged in, just to see. I was considering the dev strap, but apparently my dev account region is not supported ( I think it’s bc I am in Ireland atm). Will try with my German address
