I am having the same issue with 17,1 on Sierra. BCM94360CD is used. iCloud: All syncing between devices nicely. Airdrop: Works Personal Hotspot: Works Apple Watch Unlock: The option was available when the WIFI card was initially installed, but I couldn't get it to work. After playing with it, and reinstall OS etc, the option is no longer shown up. Handoff: Not working Universal Clipboard: Not working
Wondering if disabling SIP is necessary.

I got it working by fixing the iMessage/Facetime issue first. Once that's fixed, handoff & apple watch unlock appeared and working all by itself.
My iMessage/Facetime is working normally.. @mu2004 Would you please tell me how did you fix your issue? It still worth a try. Thanks!
Is your WIFI BCM94360? If it's not, it may not be natively supported and some hacking is needed.
Can you check if the latest beta solves this issue?
I'm afraid it is still not working.
I tried the latest beta branch and getting Patching ContinuitySupport... Usage: PlistBuddy [-cxh] <file.plist>
, so I decided to force install the script. After rebooting, log out and log in iCloud and toggling iCloud Drive, Handoff and Instant Hotspot are still not working.
This is all command I have run:

ALMOST DONE! After rebooting:
1) Make sure that both your Mac and iOS device have Bluetooth turned on, and are on the same Wi-Fi network.
2) On OS X go to SYSTEM PREFERENCES> GENERAL> and ENABLE HANDOFF.
3) On iOS go to SETTINGS> GENERAL> HANDOFF & SUGGESTED APPS> and ENABLE HANDOFF.
4) On OS X, sign out and then sign in again to your iCloud account.

After verifying that Continuity works, you can reenable SIP via the Recovery OS
Thanks to Lem3ssie, UncleSchnitty, Skvo, toleda, TealShark, Manic Harmonic, rob3r7o, RehabMan, kramsee and the many beta testers for their support.

Thanks again.
@JiamingSuen thanks for testing. Can you please try one more time? I just pushed beta 2.4b4.
btw, I'm pretty sure the issue that it's not working has to do with the patching of the ContinuitySupport. So please keep an eye on that.
Yes I believe this time the patching is done, but after rebooting and other toggling stuff it is still not working.. I even tried with a different Wifi router.

Could you check SystemParameters.plist located in /System/Library/Frameworks/IOBluetooth.framework/Versions/A/Resources/ ? Your Mac board-id should be in there with a bool for "ContinuitySupport" set to Yes.
Is this the bool you mentioned?
<key>Mac-65CE76090165799A</key>
<dict>
<key>ContinuitySupport</key>
<true/>
</dict>
Well there's no "Yes" in this file. I attached the file to this gist in case you need to have a look. Thanks.
btw the board-id is assigned by Clover Configurator and is changeable if it's necessary.
Yes that's the one. It gets shown as "Yes" in xcode. So all patches should be applied then.. I might have to set up a hackintosh myself and test some things out. Will keep you updated.
OK thanks a lot! It's quite weird that it worked before with the same hardware and OS configuration.. And other people's Sierra is working fine..
Weird. You could try to remove your iCloud account from your devices and try again. This usually fixes the issue for me.
Well, something more weird happened.. I did nothing since my last attempt with the latest beta script and everything suddenly got working this afternoon. Sorry I cannot provide more information about how exactly it got working but thanks a lot for your patience @sysfloat .
Yeah most likely just the iCloud sync taking some time, you can force this by removing and re-adding the account on your Mac.
Good to hear it's finally working, so it was the ContinuiySupport not being patched after all :)
Your Issue:
Handoff is not working, together with Universal Clipboard. Airdrop and Continuity is working well.
Handoff worked on El Capitan after running the script with -f(because of " Entry, ":Mac-65CE76090165799A:ContinuitySupport", Does Not Exist NOT OK. Unknown state. Your Mac might not be compatible." issue. btw any possibilities to fix this?)
Steps done to try to fix the issue:
System Diagnostic Output
Thanks for all these works you guys have done!
