Dronelink and Mavic Air 2 not binding
When I run the latest Dronelink App (after I deleted it to insure I had the latest), it says Disconnected and no other options are available to connect. I would have thought that you need to somehow identify the drone so it shows up, but I cannot find any documentation that shows the Mavic Air 2. I've successfully set up a test mission on my Windows 10 PC.
I am running the latest versions of Dronelink, IOS 14.4 on an IPhone 12 Pro and the latest firmware for my Mavic 2. No where can I find if you are supposed to turn on the Mavic controller, but I've tried that too. What am I doing wrong or can you point me to the initial bind instructions.

Did you install the beta version of the app? Support for the MA2 was removed from beta version 140, but works fine for me with version 137 on Android / Smart Controller.
Assuming you have beta version 137 installed, you should make sure there are no DJI apps running. The MA2 and controller need to be powered on. Once both are powered on and connected, you then launch Dronelink.
We removed MA2 support.
Why? And when will it be restored?
We had many other features that needed to go to production and the beta DJI SDK was too buggy to allow it to ship with it. MA2 is only one of many other things that we are currently working on so we don't have time estimates, especially because most of the issues are out of our control (DJI).
Ok, makes complete sense and I understand the realities of software development has many tentacles. Where can I find Beta version 137 so I can get started with that until MA2 is added back in?
I think this is what you want for Beta app with the MA2.

Thank you, it works now. Let's hope we can get back on the Beta train again soon.
DITTO :)
I’m still having this problem in the 141 build. MA2 & iOS 14.4, app shows the message “disconnected” and in the details screen says Overall Status “error”. Any more details
i can provide to help find the problem?
Maybe this is helpful: I also use the Maven app and it is connecting to the drone and showing status. So i guess at least the drone & sdk are ok.
It’s working... i deleted the app and reinstalled. So the problem with connection was after upgrade from 137 (which had the same issue for me) but a clean install of 141 is ok.
I just uninstalled/re-installed 141 and it told me 'kernel updated'.
