Tried and no luck no for me.

Sorry to hear that - but I guess it is a bit "Apple-Hardware" related: I recently had an issue with a Mac Mini 2020 (Intel i7), where the simple uninstall/install trick didn't work. But finally I managed to connect the Mac Mini with the RC2 as well.
Steps I took to make this work (not sure if everything here is necessary, but at least it is connecting with this workflow):
- uninstall DJI Assistant 2
- delete ~/Library/Application Support/DJIAssistant2 (to my surprise I found many folder with "DJI Assistant" with variations in names in there, and I deleted all folder with "DJI Assistant" names)
- restarted the Mac Mini
- installed DJI Assistant 2 (consumer drones again)
- launched DJI Assistant 2 (and allowed network connections)
Now on first connect I had the famous "Couldn't connect" again. But without acknowledging the error message, but simply unplugging the controller and plugging in again - I saw the files and folders of the controller!
Before accessing the folder, I first had to acknowledge the "couldn't connect" error message one more time - which closed the view of the files and folders (kind of a shock). But when starting Android File Transfer application again and I had full access to all files and folder of the RC2!
This approach also "survived" a reboot of the machine - you still have to unplug and plug for the first time, and THEN acknowledge the error message, but it is working consistently!
Let me know if this approach works for you as well!

@@stefanwoermcke6828 many thanks for the update, I’ll give it a go tonight. I as hoping a new Mac mini M2 would be a good investment but things like file transfer and not being able to get certain app to work like reality capture because of the lack of Nvidia driver/card is a pain. Think I might just get a windows gaming PC instead 😢😢😢
