What's Wrong?

Dispatch has never successfully paired. Every attempt results in "Pairing failed" on the mobile app.

What Should Happen?

Expected behavior: Phone pairs successfully with Claude Desktop for Dispatch sessions.

Error Messages/Logs

Actual behavior: "Pairing failed" every attempt. No successful connection established.
Additional context
Per issue #40283, there is a known missing entitlement (com.apple.vm.networking) that prevents Dispatch from establishing a network route. This may be the root cause. Requesting Anthropic re-sign the app with the correct entitlement.
