Asus B360M - i3 9100F - RX 550 - Sabrent Rocket - Fenvi T919 - Ventura 13.3.1
I did the upgrade using a mix of the classic Dortania guide + Open Core Auxiliary Tools (OCAT) which is super useful to be honest.

Help me to fix config.plist file
Use this. It checks your config. Updates kext and OC. https://github.com/ic005k/OCAuxiliaryTools

No schema(s, in description)
Your config.plist don't match with your OC version. Use OpenCoreAuxiliaryTool or ProperTree to update oc and plist.

Side note: I only started to use OCAuxiliaryTools today to make things easier. ProperTree was getting a little hard to follow some time =)

Maybe give OCAT (https://github.com/ic005k/OCAuxiliaryTools) a try. I did a 0.7.x to 0.8.7 a while back without incident as well as just bumping to 0.8.9 the other day.

Need some help with the Feature Unlock Repo
Hi, I'm trying use my 'outdated' iPad as a sidecar for my brand new Mac.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!

SUCCESS! Monterey on i5 11400F, MSI Z490 MPG Edge WiFi, RX 6600 XT
Airdrop doesn't work (at least it doesn't with me), continuity does, and if you want more features, install this kext.
