iPad won't appear in 'Screen Mirroring' and 'Displays' pane in System Preferences

Hello folks. I encountered an issue while trying to use Sidecar. It just doesn't work. iPad won't appear in 'Screen Mirroring' and 'Displays' pane in System Preferences. I use Mac Mini M1 and iPad 8. Tried everything that Apple support website suggests:

  • Wi-Fi, Bluetooth & Handoff are turned on both devices
  • Both Mac and iPad are using the same Apple ID
  • iPad is set as trusted when connecting it to a Mac
  • My Apple ID uses two factor authentication
  • My devices support Sidecar
  • My devices use up-to-date software


Also I tried:

  • Logging out and in iCloud on the iPad
  • Connecting iPad via Lightning - Type-C cord to a Mac's Thunderbolt
  • Rebooting both devices


None of this helped me. Please suggest me what can I try in order to fix this issue.
