Additional Notes
- NightShift (macOS 10.12.4+)
- AirPlay to Mac (macOS 12.0+)
- Universal Control (macOS 12.3+)
- Requires minimum of Wifi N and Bluetooth 4.0 for wireless, wired is supported between iPad and Mac as an alternative
- Note all parties check each other for compatibility, thus requiring FeatureUnlock on all models in the chain
- Seen as Ineligible Device Found Md MacBookPro11,4, SV 340.17.2 in Console under UniversalControl: com.apple.universalcontrol
- Recommend using a different SMBIOS if possible, otherwise use -force_uc_unlock for machines that are not blacklisted but are connecting with a blacklisted model.
- Due to the nature of requiring FeatureUnlock for both models, Apple Silicon and iPads will not work
- Sidecar (macOS 10.15.0+)
- Requires minimum of Wifi N and Bluetooth 4.0 for wireless, wired is supported between iPad and Mac as an alternative
- Requires a machine with an Intel iGPU active for reliable usage, most dGPU-only machines will experience difficulties. An H.265 capable iGPU is recommended for best streaming quality.
- AMD dGPU-only machines may work if using an iMac19,x or iMac20,x SMBIOS with gvaForceAMDKE setting applied:
Boot arguments
- -caroff (or -liluoff) to disable

- -allow_sidecar_ipad enables Sidecar support for unsupported iPads (only functional with iOS 13, iOS 14+ implements an iOS-side check)
- -disable_sidecar_mac disables Sidecar/AirPlay patches
- -disable_nightshift disables NightShift patches
- -disable_uni_control disables Universal Control patches
- -force_uni_control forces Universal Control patching even when model doesn't require
