Comment 0 for bug 1551858

Connecting to the latest generation Apple BT keyboard ( the one with the USB port & no batteries ) fails on an Ubuntu Touch device, as when you press the "Connect" button on the device page, a dialog titled "Bluetooth Pairing Request" is displayed, with the following text:

Please confirm that the PIN displayed on 'Magic Keyboard' matches this one: XXXXXX

The dialog has "Cancel" and "Confirm PIN" buttons.

The keyboard has no display on which a PIN could be displayed.

When using other devices ( Ubuntu Desktop 15.10, 16.04, Android, OS X, ... ) to connect this keyboard all that's necessary is to click/press the 'Connect' button in the appropriate place, and the keyboard automatically connects, and is usable with no other actions required from the user.

Reproduced on krillin ( rc-proposed/bq-aquris.en/270 ) which has bluez 5.36-0ubuntu2~overlay1 installed.

Reproduced on arale ( rc-proposed/meizu.en/258 ) which has bluez 5.37 installed from silo 39.

Note, after dismissing the dialog, subsequent attempts to connect may not re-display the PIN dialog, instead nothing happens. I've found that this requires power cycling the keyboard to clear and cause the PIN dialog to be displayed again.
