Sidecar issue with iPad Pro 12.9 M1 Have Macbook Pro from 2019 (Intel proc) and iPad Pro M1 and really can't find a way to use my iPad as a second display or do a mirroring from mac ( mirroring works the other way around). The same Wi-Fi network, Bluetooth and handoff enabled on both, the same apple id, latest OS on both devices (Ventura and iPadOS 16.3)...restarted both devices, tried safe mode on mac...I even tried with downgrading MacOS from Ventura to Mojave and gradually upgraded version by version (except Monterey). Nothing helped (sad) Tried mac-to-mac connection and it worked, but mac-to-ipad failed (even tested with Macbook Air M2). Could it be that particular iPad has some hardware issue or it has something to do with iPadOS 16.3 ?
