On my Hackintosh, go to System Preferences, iCloud, and sign out.Īnd boom! The sidecar icon was showing in the top right of my screen. Remove all devices from failed Hackintosh attempts (there were a lot of unused devices there) I did the following to get all of the above to work: The Sidecar icon was also not available in the menu bar. I made sure that Handoff was enabled on both iPad and Hackintosh, but no luck. Once I got Bluetooth and Wifi to work, I noticed that I Airdrop was working fine, but continuity/handoff didn't seem to be working. No kexts required if you use an Airport card + adapter. Restarted my Hackintosh was able to use sidecar as expected!īluetooth and WiFi are required to get this working, so I bought a BCM94360CS2 chip with this adapter to get the Bluetooth/wifi to work. I set 0300913E as the value under Devices > Properties > PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x2,0x0) > AAPL,ig-platform-id, and I added shikigva=80 to my boot-args (not sure if this was necessary but it's working).

Once mapped, I was able to connect to my iPad via Sidecar, but there were some weird graphics glitches. I first made sure my USB ports were all mapped correctly. I'm using Opencore 0.6.0 iMac19,1 with a Gigabyte z390 Aorus I Pro + i7-8700 + 5700 xt. I'm sharing this because it took me a lot of trial and error to fix this on my Hackintosh.
