Can I use a USB-C cable between two macs with Migration Assistant to transfer content to a new MacBook? The support page (link below) only describes transferring content wirelessly or with Time Machine, both of which methods I have found unreliable in the past. For example, the application permissions did not transfer and I had to find the correct codes or contact the software company or even buy a new copy of the software. (Any suggestions?) In the past, I've had the best luck transferring all my data by connecting a new mac to the old mac with a cable, but Apple doesn't seem to be supporting this method anymore. Any suggestions?

Honestly this was a very good question. I did lots of research and found out that you will want a USB-C Cable that supports data transfer for your mac devices. The macs should detect themselves in the mitigation assistant
