BTT REMOTE IPAD CAN’T FIND MAC (YES, ALL REQUIREMENTS MET—NEED HELP)

Describe the bug:
I'm trying to set up bettertouchtool remote with my ipad and BTT on mac.

I’ve installed the latest btt on my mac and the btt remote app on my ipad.

Both devices are on the same private wifi network, no vpn, no firewall blocking btt, bonjour should be working.

However, my mac does not show up automatically in the btt remote app on my ipad.

I tried entering the ip and port manually from btt remote preferences on the mac, but still get no connection (just hangs or does not connect).

I’ve tried restarting both devices, reinstalling the apps, and toggling the server, but no luck.

Affected input device:
Btt remote on ipad, macbook

Screenshots
Added as attachments below (see the manual connect and how-to screens from the btt remote app).


Device information:

Type of mac: Macbook Pro M1 2021

Macos version: Sequoia 15.6

Bettertouchtool version: 5.554

Ipad 11th gen (iPadOS 26)

Btt remote app version: from app store

Additional information (e.G. Crash logs, related issues, etc.):
No crash logs.
I’ve attached screenshots of the remote app screens seen during troubleshooting.
If there are network/system logs I should check or commands to run, let me know.

I have set up the server as well, but I am getting timeout while connecting error
