Sidecar not working between MBP 15' 2019 and iPad Pro 9.7'

Question

I just updated both my ipad to IpadOS and my MBP to Catalina and I'm trying to setup sidecar.

I made sure that:

• both are on the same wifi network
• I'm logged in with the same iCloud account on both
• Bluetooth is on

I don't have the AirPlay icon in the menu bar nor can I see the iPad in System Preferences > Sidecar.

What else can I try to make it work?

Answer 1

The following worked to solve the issue:

- Logout from iCloud on both devices
- Restart both devices
- Login to iCloud on both deviced
- Restart both devices

Answer 2

Did you try to plug the iPad on the MBP ? It should work with Bluetooth connection, but just to try... Wifi network does not have an influence on Sidecar.
