I figured out what's causing the latest version of OSX to not allow this patch! in Resources/sidecarPrefCheck I'm currently decompiling it that seams to crash if its not a supported hw version it checks the hardware and returns something I'm figuring that out right now

[pookjw]

Do you mean /System/Library/PreferencePanes/Sidecar.prefPane/Contents/Resources/sidecarPrefCheck?

I applied patch on iMac18,2 (2017 iMac - officially supports Sidecar) on 10.15.1_19B88 and there's no patch error, Sidecar works. But I don't have Sidecar unsupported device, so I don't know on unsupported device. What's the symptom exactly you encountered?

[charlieporth1]

I cannot open the sidecar prefPane

[charlieporth1]

I get this error, when using this command open /System/Library/PreferencePanes/Sidecar.prefPane/

On a side note what program are you using

[pookjw]

Can you upload /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/SidecarCore.framework/Versions/A/SidecarCore?

Seems like your SidecarCore wasn't patched. Run SidecarPatcher again. If you encounter error when running SidecarPatcher, upload log here.

I ran it and still can't open the pane

Ok I know what's the problem. You used ben-z/free-sidecar and patched MacBookPro11,4 right? SidecarPatcher is not compatible with ben-z/free-sidecar

1. To Use SidecarPatcher, revert to original SidecarCore

2. If you used ben-z/free-sidecar and followed 10 steps, you can open Sidecar pane.

Ok I know what's the problem. You used https://github.com/ben-z/free-sidecar and patched MacBookPro11,4 right? SidecarPatcher is not compatible with https://github.com/ben-z/free-sidecar

1. To Use SidecarPatcher, revert to original SidecarCore
2. If you used https://github.com/ben-z/free-sidecar, you can open Sidecar pane. If you can't you are not using MacBookPro11,4 or there's are other problem.

I used https://github.com/ben-z/free-sidecar but reverted it, hold one one sec while I upload a screen recording

I tried to patch your SidecarCore and if I tried to patch your SidecarCore.bak, there's no error.

As I said I don't have unsupported device so I don't know detail. Showing iPad on AirPlay is almost near. and you are using 10.15.1 beta, how about updating to official 10.15.1? after updating, you need to patch SidecarCore again.
