The Sidecar preferences pane never shows up when my 2021 iPad Pro is connected over USB and the device does not show up in Control Center when on the same WiFi network. Both devices have the same Apple ID and bluetooth is enabled. I have an 8th generation iPad as well that does not show up, so the problem appears to be on the Mac's end. Handoff appears to be working fine as well. Any ideas that would be keeping Sidecar from enabling? Tested on macOS 12.0.1 and 12.1 RC with iOS 15 and 15.1.

I currently have a situation where we have 400+ Apple TVs deployed in classrooms to act as AirPlay receivers. I'm having an issue with MacBooks somewhat randomly dropping connection from WiFi while connected to the Apple TVs. It appears the MacBooks and Apple TVs connect to each other over AWDL before problems happen, while devices connected over Infra have no issue per console logs. Is there any way to force AirPlay to run over Infra rather than AWDL without completely disabling awdl0?

I’m trying to push a PPPC profile through our mdm to allow staff to grant the screen recording permission to Zoom and Webex. The profile generated by our mdm, as well as an identical one created using Jamf’s PPPC Utility, install to the device properly, but do not seem to actually apply any settings to my test device running macOS 11.4. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The following is our profile. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>PayloadContent</key> <array> <dict> <key>PayloadDescription</key> <string>ScreenRecordingTest</string> <key>PayloadDisplayName</key> <string>ScreenRecordingTest</string> <key>PayloadIdentifier</key> <string>608D5F4C-B2F4-49BF-BA36-46FDA7FDD321</string> <key>PayloadOrganization</key> <string>com</string> <key>PayloadType</key> <string>com.apple.TCC.configuration-profile-policy</string> <key>PayloadUUID</key> <string>BE3DADCB-1DA1-4378-99D7-46CBDEF361D1</string> <key>PayloadVersion</key> <integer>1</integer> <key>Services</key> <dict> <key>AppleEvents</key> <array> <dict> <key>AEReceiverCodeRequirement</key> <string>identifier "us.zoom.xos" and anchor apple generic and certificate 1[field.1.2.840.113635.100.6.2.6] /* exists */ and certificate leaf[field.1.2.840.113635.100.6.1.13] /* exists */ and certificate leaf[subject.OU] = BJ4HAAB9B3</string> <key>AEReceiverIdentifier</key> <string>us.zoom.xos</string> <key>AEReceiverIdentifierType</key> <string>bundleID</string> <key>Authorization</key> <string>Allow</string> <key>CodeRequirement</key> <string>identifier "us.zoom.xos" and anchor apple generic and certificate 1[field.1.2.840.113635.100.6.2.6] /* exists */ and certificate leaf[field.1.2.840.113635.100.6.1.13] /* exists */ and certificate leaf[subject.OU] = BJ4HAAB9B3</string> <key>Comment</key> <string></string> <key>Identifier</key> <string>us.zoom.xos</string> <key>IdentifierType</key> <string>bundleID</string> </dict> <dict> <key>AEReceiverCodeRequirement</key> <string>identifier "com.cisco.webexmeetingsapp" and anchor apple generic and certificate 1[field.1.2.840.113635.100.6.2.6] /* exists */ and certificate leaf[field.1.2.840.113635.100.6.1.13] /* exists */ and certificate leaf[subject.OU] = DE8Y96K9QP</string> <key>AEReceiverIdentifier</key> <string>com.cisco.webexmeetingsapp</string> <key>AEReceiverIdentifierType</key> <string>bundleID</string> <key>Authorization</key> <string>Allow</string> <key>CodeRequirement</key> <string>identifier "com.cisco.webexmeetingsapp" and anchor apple generic and certificate 1[field.1.2.840.113635.100.6.2.6] /* exists */ and certificate leaf[field.1.2.840.113635.100.6.1.13] /* exists */ and certificate leaf[subject.OU] = DE8Y96K9QP</string> <key>Comment</key> <string></string> <key>Identifier</key> <string>com.cisco.webexmeetingsapp</string> <key>IdentifierType</key> <string>bundleID</string> </dict> </array> <key>ScreenCapture</key> <array> <dict> <key>Authorization</key> <string>AllowStandardUserToSetSystemService</string> <key>CodeRequirement</key> <string>identifier "us.zoom.xos" and anchor apple generic and certificate 1[field.1.2.840.113635.100.6.2.6] /* exists */ and certificate leaf[field.1.2.840.113635.100.6.1.13] /* exists */ and certificate leaf[subject.OU] = BJ4HAAB9B3</string> <key>Comment</key> <string></string> <key>Identifier</key> <string>us.zoom.xos</string> <key>IdentifierType</key> <string>bundleID</string> </dict> <dict> <key>Authorization</key> <string>AllowStandardUserToSetSystemService</string> <key>CodeRequirement</key> <string>identifier "com.cisco.webexmeetingsapp" and anchor apple generic and certificate 1[field.1.2.840.113635.100.6.2.6] /* exists */ and certificate leaf[field.1.2.840.113635.100.6.1.13] /* exists */ and certificate leaf[subject.OU] = DE8Y96K9QP</string> <key>Comment</key> <string></string> <key>Identifier</key> <string>com.cisco.webexmeetingsapp</string> <key>IdentifierType</key> <string>bundleID</string> </dict> </array> </dict> </dict> </array> <key>PayloadDescription</key> <string>ScreenRecordingTest</string> <key>PayloadDisplayName</key> <string>ScreenRecordingTest</string> <key>PayloadIdentifier</key> <string>608D5F4C-B2F4-49BF-BA36-46FDA7FDD321</string> <key>PayloadOrganization</key> <string>com</string> <key>PayloadScope</key> <string>System</string> <key>PayloadType</key> <string>Configuration</string> <key>PayloadUUID</key> <string>E0F2EB42-88E7-4B91-A0B1-AE036E790E15</string> <key>PayloadVersion</key> <integer>1</integer> </dict> </plist>
