Known Issues and limitations

• Handoff and Universal Clipboard are the only supported Continuity features.
• Instant HotSpot from iPhone can be recognized but may likely fail to connect. Workaround: use itlwm.kext with HeliPort.
• Apple Bluetooth peripherals may fail to connect. Workaround: use itlwm.kext with HeliPort or disable iCloud.

Bootloader Compatibility

Note:
OpenCore requires 0.6.1 or higher. Please read OpenCore's Official Document for more details.

Set SecureBootModel to Default to make sure IO80211Family loads properly.

Workaround for Users with Prelinked Kernel without ImmutableKernel

• Force IO80211Family to load. 「Supports OpenCore and Clover(not tested)」 (Read the Kernel - Force section in OpenCore's manual for more info)
• Load AirportItlwm from Terminal (Continuity features may not work)
• Extract IO80211Family from the system, insert AirportItlwm as a Plugin, and load the bundle with a bootloader.
• Or disable SIP and install AirportItlwm into /Library/Extensions (Take your own risk)

The latter two methods are not recommended, hence details are not provided.
