Arduino IDE doesn't show any serial or COM ports

Development Tools IDE 1.x
1

I am trying to setup an Arduino BLE 33 with headers on a Mac OS Mojave 10.14.6 but try as I might the board fails to show any serial or COM ports. A basic compile/upload of sketch issues the following error;

uploading using selected port: /dev/cu.Bluetooth-Incoming-Port
/Users/vk/Library/Arduino15/packages/arduino/tools/bossac/1.9.1-arduino1/bossac -d --port=cu.Bluetooth-Incoming-Port -U -i -e -w /var/folders/dy/lnx545ls1jsfkhkxlf3v8tl40000gn/T/arduino_build_70442/sketch_oct23a.ino.bin -R
No device found on cu.Bluetooth-Incoming-Port
Set binary mode
Send auto-baud
Set binary mode
An error occurred while uploading the sketch

If I select Tools->Get board info

it returns

"Native serial port, can't obtain info"

Any Help in setting this up is greatly appreciated. Please find attached a screenshot of my environment

Hello,
You are not alone! I have exactly the same problem since the
update to Mac OS Mojave 10.14.6, all my serial ports have
disappeared, Arduino IDE does not show any USB port. Serial or COM.
No 3D printing possible, no uploads on my test arduinos.
I have not yet seen solutions by querying the web.

The forum has a search option that when used gathers only the relevant information in GOOGLE

Mac OS causes a few issues with hardware but the forum always seems to have an answer.

check that the proper port is selected in the Tools > Serial Port menu (if your port doesn't appear, try restarting the IDE with the board connected to the computer). If you don't seem to have a serial port for your Arduino board, see the following information about drivers.
