Hi, I'm trying use my 'outdated' iPad as a sidecar for my brand new Mac. I found this repo https://github.com/acidanthera/FeatureUnlock which seems to be the only one maintained for now, but they haven't provided any installation steps or guidelines and I'm completely clueless. Can anyone please explain to me how it works or guide me to some resources? I've some programming experience but not in the low level areas this seems to be in. Thanks!

Airdrop doesn't work (at least it doesn't with me), continuity does, and if you want more features, install this kext.
