Tested on macOS 10.15 Beta 9 (19A573a). Use at your own risk. 1. Backup `/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/SidecarCore.framework/Versions/A/SidecarCore` file. This script doesn't provide original system file. 2. Disable **System Integrity Protection**.

Open **Terminal** application and Excute `chmod +x /path/to/SidecarPatcher` and `sudo /path/to/SidecarPatcher`. - `/path/to/SidecarPatcher` refers to the location of `SidecarPatcher` like `/Users/pook/Downloads/SidecarPatcher`. If you don't know what it is, just Drag & Drop a `SidecarPatcher` to Terminal. It will automatically fill it. - You will need to enter Password, which is login password. - If you already patched, this script won't work until replacing to original one. ## About old iPad Sidecar is disabled on these devices: iPad4,1, iPad4,2, iPad4,3, iPad4,4, iPad4,5, iPad4,6, iPad4,7, iPad4,8, iPad4,9, iPad5,1, iPad5,2, iPad5,3, iPad5,4, iPad6,11, iPad6,12 In SidecarPathcer Version 5, it also disables this iPad blacklist. But I don't have Sidecar-unsupported Mac and iPad so I don't know it works. In case, it may require jailbreaking your iPad.
