Continuity issues on Sequoia?

[jedimasterkyle]

So I know it hasn't even been 24 hours since the public release of Sequoia but has anyone else been having continuity issues between their Mac and iPhone?

So far, Sequoia has been doing fine for me, except for continuity. The messages app on my Mac refuses to recognize that my iPhone is using RCS and now none of my messages are syncing. iMessage (from what I can tell) still works fine but the messages between my wife and I are not coming through on my Mac. She is using a Samsung Galaxy S22 and she enabled RCS this morning so the functionality is there but my Mac Mini just wont see it.

I've restarted my Mac and iPhone multiple times. Verified that everything is up to date. They're both on the same wifi network and bluetooth is enabled but I cannot figure out why the messages app wont sync. I've also gone into my iCloud settings and forced the sync of messages on both my Mac and iPhone and that isn't doing anything either.

Any ideas?

When I finished loading iOS 15, and iPadOS 15 I had a popup in my Mac telling me I had to download this package which is unidentified but is part of macOS. I had this with earlier macOS updates. I didn't take a screen shot but in the tile has a blue iPhone on the left side, and on the right I need to load this in order for the Mac to communicate with my iOS devices. When I first saw this pop up it gave me pause. here is what the window looks like. What I would do is do a hard reset on your iPhone, It is just like a shutdown/reboot on your mac see if that does the trick. You don't loss anything. When ever I notice my iPhone getting weird I do this and it always fixes it.

I tried that suggestion and still no dice. I did the hard reset on my iPhone and I plugged it into my Mac to see if there were any other additional software updates. Whole lotta nothin...

looks like it is time to call Apple support.

I posted this same question to the Apple Support forums so going to see what I get in that net before calling Apple. I have no doubt it's bug related but still...it all comes back to lack of QC on software before it gets released to the public but I digress...

Was reading up on this issue. I see you are not alone. One thing they mention has to do with switching out cables.

Did you hear back from Apple? I am also having this issue, mainly my mac mini intel is not accepting or sending anything for continuity. My ipad, iphones, and MBP m-chip apple silicon, all are working fine on continuity. Being that the MBP is working but not the mac mini tells me things outside of the apple ecosystem is having the issue?

I did not but I played around with a few settings on my VPN and that seemed to have helped
