[pre-release] macOS Ventura

[Cyberdevs]

@aben and @Hervé

I can see other computers when AirDrop window is open but i can't transfer files between them or it has a very long delay.

Might be another issue but when I use Bluetoolfixup it works as expected. I have the same fenvi T919 in both rigs.

There is this update Ventura B3 with a size of 500mb, when i tried to update it says update failed offered the full update.

 

This has been happening to since beta 1 to beta 2 and beta 2 to beta 3.

 

Anyone knows why?

That's interesting coz I too see this delay sometimes when sending files back and forth on both (iOS 16 + macOS Ventura). I believe this is most likely a "beta" effect coz I see delays with other functions as well, especially notifications on Ventura. I suspect BlueToolFixup is most likely doing some probing adjustment with bluetoothd service that seems to fix this delay seen on Ventura.

Bug, click on "ok" and then click on update again, It will download the entire installer (12gb) and the update goes well

Yes the beta phase might be one reason but i've read some posts about Ventura has improved the Bluetooth stack in comparison to Monterey and some bluetooth devices could work without Bluetoolfixup and if I'm not mistaking @Hervé was one the first people who reported it.

Sounds like you use BlueToolFixup as well? If so, this behavior is expected when attempting incremental updates due to Ventura halting the install process when there is a mismatch detected in userspace binaries, in this case BlueTool.

Suggestion: Reboot macOS without BlueToolFixup and attempt the incremental update again or simply cancel the process and attempt installation with full installer.

[Cyberdevs]

@Hervé you are correct.

I just tested Ventura on both rigs without bluetoolfixup and everything seems to be working just fine.

On the Kabylake I have beta3 and on the alder lake beta 2. So that must have been a momentary laps of (judgement) communication between the devices for some unknown reason.

I even tested the file transfer between Monterey and Ventura and it worked just fine. Even the Bluetooth mouse and keyboard connected faster than when I had bluetoolfixup loaded!

A noob question from someone who hasn't previously experimented with Acidanthera pre-release developer builds.  I saw a comment earlier in this thread (not sure where) that discouraged sharing of Acidanthera binaries.  What is the gold-standard repository for Acidanthera pre-release builds of OC and kexts?  Are folks building these themselves or downloading from an Acidanthera-controlled repository?  Thank you.

[Cyberdevs]

@deeveedee

here:

https://dortania.github.io/builds

You can compile the kext form master branches of course but the link above is for all the latest official complied kexts from Acidanthera.

[aben]

@deeveedee In addition to the link @Cyberdevs provided, you may also visit the below dortania repo, for a more chronological view of all release builds as they are pushed to master: 

 

https://github.com/dortania/build-repo/releases

[deeveedee]

@Cyberdevs and @aben - Thank you for your quick responses!  So if we want to share specific versions of OC pkg or Acidanthera kexts, we should be sharing the links to the controlled builds in the repo and not the pkg / kext.  Thanks again!

Yup. Using BlueToolFixup to enable bluetooth.

Does the use of BlueToolFixup here improve BT functionality for a specific use-case that I'm not aware of?

It does, but I signed a non-disclosure agreement.

 

No, you are absolutely right. Before I had the fenvi card I was using the archer t6e in combination with the Asus bt400 usb dongle. After switching to the fenvi card I kept bluetoolfixup and just forgot about it’s existence in my EFI folder until yesterday 😄

Preferably yes! For example: this would be the ideal link to share if you wish to share the build for latest OC commit b06c6b3.

Ahh...figures! It now makes sense why you were battling with those pesky incremental update issues all along 😅

HandOff and AirDrop working in Ventura b3 on my E7270 fitted with an Apple BCM94360CS2. Before or after Sleep/Wake cycle.

Can you check something?

Bluetooth is unavailable right after walking from sleep (for about 5-10seconds bluetooth settings is empty) and after that is working just fine.

Ventura B3 (22A5295i)-No issues🙂 

 

Build 1: iMac20,2, i5-9400F, Samsung 16GB DDR4 RAM, MSI Z390 Gaming Plus , Radeon RX 580 8GB, OC 0.8.3

Correct..

 

Me with this card:

 

https://www.amazon.es/gp/product/B081CFM2J4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have wiffi and bluetooth, working OOTB, I don't use any kext...

Works AirDrop, Handoff like an original mac..

 

 

And obviously, when I wake it up from sleep it works instantly, I use a magic trackpad and I usually wake it up from sleep with a touch...

I don't usually turn off the computer, it had been on sleep since yesterday, I arrived at noon, I touched the trackpad and instantly it was as I left it yesterday, and airdrop handoff bluetooth works

 

 

For the Lenovo 520s, this card is about to arrive:

I guess it should go well in Ventura

I downloaded the public beta of iOS 16.0 in order to try out Continuity Camera.  I was not able to use it via wifi.  It only worked using a USB cable.  The same had been true in the past when I tried to use Sidecar.  Does anyone have any suggestions for how to try to figure out what is going on with my networking that precludes my use of wifi and/or bluetooth (if that is involved at all) to communicate between my laptop and peripheral devices?

 

P.S. - I posted this here because Continuity Camera is a new feature in macOS Ventura.
