macOS 14 Sonoma Public Beta is Now Available

[remix0120]

There's progress with the BCM cards in Sonoma with the latest OCLP. I have Intel 9560NGW in my Dell 7400, and it's working well both WiFi and BT. Location services are also available.

Hi, Does Airdrop and handoff work too?

Has anyone had any trouble getting their USB audio devices, which are detected and accessible with their configuration applications, to show up in the audio output options?

Will those old official Airport cards still works ? (those pulled from old Macs).

yes they both work real good with the latest commit of OCLP.

Clear proof of what was/is possible in Ventura is now possible in Sonoma, i.e 'Air Drop', 'iPhone Camera Hand Off to Mac (Continuity), etc., are all possible thanks to the tireless work of the OCLP Devs.

If you've used OCLP Beta to enable WiFi in Sonoma, you need to disable the added kexts and the special Entry in Kernel/Block (Allow IOSkywalk Downgrade) this also must be disabled. The boot-arg entry amfi=0x80 must be removed and the csr-active-config entry 03080000 must be replaced with 00000000.

In other words, the state of Sonoma setup must be as before the OCLP Patch was applied and vanilla as possible for the update to be applied without the error message you're getting.
Don't forget to reboot and reset NVRAM after you make all the above mentioned changes then try to get the update.

After the update is finished, you will need to re-do the whole Sonoma OCLP routine to enable WiFI again by enabling the kexts and entries, etc., in config.plist and run the Sonoma Opencore Patcher again. Unfortunately, until the OCLP Devs developed a better way, that is the only way at the moment.

Hi all,

First, sorry for my bad english.

macOS Sonoma Beta installed with fresh install and OpenCore 0.9.4
Wi-fi and AirDrop working with some patches.
I followed this post:

This PR is primarily for tracking development of patch sets and changes implemented in code base. Please note that these builds are highly unstable and will require frequent re-installs throughout ...

I have some problem with Adobe Creative Cloud app, so be careful!

Inserted this code into the kext section in config.plist:

I hope I can help for someone.
