Apple Pencil, SideCar, Touchbar, iMac, IPad Pro Compatibility

I wasn't able to get a straight answer from AppleCare since I took on this question: Can I use the touchbar with sidecar on all my apps? They all seemed to not know the answer or outright said I couldn't .


Well, by being persistent and trying all new combinations, I figured out how to do it.


The iPad must be in extended view and NOT IN MIRRORING VIEW. Now, I am not going to get into how to set up the iPad in extended view, because there are tons of videos out there to explain it.


Suffice it to say, that the touchbar works flawlessly in every application I tried once it's in the extended view. Even though there is absolutely no documentation out there to describe this, even senior lever tech support did not know. I hope this information will be useful.


If you have any further questions about this, please message me below. hanks, and have fun with sidecar!
