macOS 15 iPhone Mirroring Bug

Meek Geek (tweet):

If you migrated to a new Mac running Sequoia using Migration Assistant instead of a clean install:

  1. Notifications from iPhone will stop showing up
  2. Widgets from iPhone will still be there based on the state before the migration, but will never update anymore

iPhone notifications stopped appearing on my Mac long before I used Migration Assistant to move to my new M4 Studio; I don't think they've worked for me under Sequoia at all. I can't recall now if they broke when upgrading to Sequoia, or iOS 18, or if they had already stopped working before either of those.


Not sure if it is the same cause. One may try the workaround/fix below:

I just realized that the same was happening to me right as this popped up in my feed.

The following worked for me to get things working again:

In the iPhone Mirroring app on the Mac, open "Settings" and click the "Revoke Access to [iPhone]…" button (I had to quit and re-open the application to get this button to be active). You then get the setup screen and can set up mirroring again, which will then ask for notification mirroring and set them up so that they work and show up in th macOS Settings again.
