I installed the patch on my mac 2015 Catalina beta 10 and tried to connect it with ios 13.1.2 iPad pro 11 but the device doesn't show up(also wired not working).

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015) Catalina 10.15 (19A602) iPad pro 11-inch MTXQ2CI/A iPadOS 13.1.2 (17A860)

Sidecar options appears in System Preferences, but "Connect To" shows no devices

Also tried the Apple suggestion and activate the two factor Apple ID, nothing.

Is there any log or test that can be activated? Thank you!

I had the same issue nevertheless I installed the SidecarPatcher without error. However, I made the Two-Factor Authentication in AppleID enable, then my iPad device showed up. This was not, therefore, SidecarPatcher problem in my case. Maybe, I guess that Apple Inc. strongly requires us to validate our AppleID for using Sidecar app. Note that I referred this cite (https://www.igeeksblog.com/ipad-not-showing-up-in-sidecar/).
