I am running on MacbookAir 6, 1 (Early 2014). Trying to Pair with a 2019 iPad Pro 11" with iPadOS

I saved the terminal results in PDF with more than a thousand pages. There is no way how I can paste them here (it's too long). So I studied the kind of errors for a while with the intention to bring a synthesis for you. I noticed that they are of three kinds:

?a?P SidecarPatcher-master/UT49?^PK /Users/macbookair/Desktop/Desktop/SidecarPatcher- master.zip:2:52: error: invalid character in source file

  1. ?a?P SidecarPatcher-master/UT49?^PK /Users/macbookair/Desktop/Desktop/SidecarPatcher- master.zip:2:55: error: invalid UTF-8 found in source file

  2. ?a?P SidecarPatcher-master/UT49?^PK /Users/macbookair/Desktop/Desktop/SidecarPatcher- master.zip:2:10: error: consecutive statements on a line must be separated by ';'

So it didn't work for me. Looking forward to a solution!

Thanks!

I got exactly the same error. The following steps solved the problem for me.

1) Uninstalled command line tools (downloaded separately) sudo rm -rf /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools

2) Installed Xcode from App Store. Was not previously installed.

3) Re-installed command line tools from the command line: xcode-select --install

4) Compiled sidecar patch without any warnings or errors. sudo swift SidecarPatcher/main.swift
