Hello,
I've been using internet sharing over USB to my iPad for a while now and after updating to 10.15.4 my iPad is no longer on the list of devices I can share internet with.
The list on the right used to have an "iPad" option.
Any way to fix this?
Thanks
MacBook Pro 15", macOS 10.15
It works from the "Content Caching" sharing option in Settings instead:

Go to Settings -> Sharing -> Select "Content caching" and enable "Internet Connection" and then enable the "Conent caching" option (which will disable the "Internet Sharing" option).
Works for me on MacBook Pro 2012 and iPhone 5 after restart of iPhone.

Hi there, udi27!
Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities! It sounds like you're having an issue with sharing your internet connection from your Mac to your iPad. First, check out this article to Share the internet connection on Mac with other network users and be sure you have everything set up properly to share the connection. Also, be sure your Mac and iPad are running the most up-to-date software.
If you continue to have issues, I recommend taking a look at this article with steps to follow to Use safe mode to isolate issues with your Mac. This will perform checks and stop certain software from starting up automatically. Once you are in safe mode, test to see if you have the same issue.
Also, check out this article with steps for How to test an issue in another user account on your Mac to create a new user and test the issue in the new account to see if the issue is user specific or system wide.
Let me know the results and have a super day!
Same here, there it is no longer possible to share the internet connection to iPad or iPhone over the USB cable after upgrading to 10.15.4
I tried deleting `/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist ` and `/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist` but it didn't help :(
Same problem here with all my macs, mbp2014, mbp2018, imac2017, after upgrading to 10.15.4. They all can't share internet to all iphone/ipad via usb. But the old imac2011 running 10.13 is still do. I doubt it's something about 10.15.4. Any idea to make this work again?
I downgraded to 10.15.3 and the sharing via USB comes back to work again.
I happen to have a backup for Catalina (10.15) installer. So I reinstall my iMac to 10.15, then download 10.15.3 combo update from apple support download site. After finish updating to 10.15.3, everything seems to work fine.
Yeah, it seems to be something with the 10.15.4 update.
I submitted a bug to Apple through the new Feedback Assistant. I suggest everyone who encounters this problem do the same. Maybe they will fix it in the next update.
I just updated to 10.15.6 and it's working again!
Same problem her, with an iPhone after installing 10.15.4
It's not a generel sharing problem, it has specifically to do with the update.
done. Bug submitted.
done. Bug submitted.
So it looks like after the latest macOS updates the internet sharing to iPads and iPhones is still missing 😔
Yes, still missing in update 10.15.5
One of my machine, MBP 2013, still not working. But the others, MBP 2018 and iMac 2017, are working now.
:(
MBP 2012 still not working
internet sharing to iPad over USB stopped working after 10.15.4 update
