Hi everybody,
Just bought and installed in my hackintosh BCM94360CS2 card. Just booted and wifi and bluetooth worked oob. I can connect logitech bluetooth trackpad without any issue and connect to my home wifi. Also airdrop from my iphone works like a charm. The problem is that i cannot manage to get handoff and apple watch unlock feature working in any way.
Even if working oob I tryed using several kext without anyluck:

AirportBrcmFixup.kext
BrcmBluetoothInjector.kext
BrcmFirmwareData.kext
BrcmPatchRAM3.kext
BT4LEContinuityFixup.kext

Don't know why it is not working cause even in System report I see all features available (Handroff supported: Yes, Auto Unlock: Yes)
Thanks for your hep!
 
Finally got it working. I'm on Catalina 10.15.4
Solution was easier than i thought

For handoff:
Sign out from iCloud then sign back in

For unlock with apple watch:
I could enable the flag in "System Preferences" -> "Security and Privacy" -> "Use your Apple watch to unlock apps and your Mac" without any issue but it didn't work since i disabled the flag "wake for network access" in "System Preferences" -> "Energy saver"

I have played with this for hours/days/weeks! I have mine working perfectly now.

Before you do anything, you need to disable serial port in your BIOS settings, you will have problems if this is enabled. You may need to update to a beta BIOS if your BIOS does not have this option under IO Devices. See here for latest beta BIOS, flash at your own risk - https://www.tweaktownforum.com/foru...dors/gigabyte/28656-gigabyte-latest-beta-bios

Firstly I would unpair your watch, then sign out of icloud on your phone and your hack. Then follow the instructions here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/251803595

One additional step after the procedure above. Turn bluetooth off on your hack, delete library/preferences/com.apple.Bluetooth.plist

Reboot your hack, phone, watch. Log in to iCloud on your hack, then your phone. Set up watch as a new watch. Go to system preferences/security & Privacy and tick the box for watch unlock. If you get error, tick again and it should work the second time
 
wow, just tried step 1 first - disabled serial port, all working! thank you @Humanate !
