I am trying to setup SMS Continuity on my MBA...
Though I get the request / window on my iPhone 5S to "Enter the code shown on your Mac to allow iPhone text messages to also be sent ad received on Computer Name" no code is being displayed on my MBA.
Would like to know i) whether anyone knows a workaround to this and ii) whether anyone else has this problem.
TIA.
MacBook Air (13-inch Mid 2012), OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)
I think you need to install OS X Yosemite on your MBA. After you do, make sure that you check (select) your iCloud email address on both iPhone and your MBA Message app.
sign out from imessage on iphone, then sign in again then activate message forwarding again, the message will show now

- Click the Notification center icon on the menu bar. It should be next to the Spotlight icon.
- At the bottom of the Notification center, click Edit.
- Add the Social widget to the Notification center.
- To send an SMS/iMessage from the notification center, open notification center again and click on the Message icon.
Understood with thanks...read your original posting very early in the morning and though you were referring to the notification applet in settings, all good now...
This worked for me. Thanks! I wish Apple had better software QC!!
This was driving me crazy until I changed one setting on my phone. Settings / Messages / IMessages / - Logout/Login out of the account. Make sure a phone AND an email is selected (previously I only had the phone checked, even though the email was there).
A little nervous unchecking email addresses on both devices. Make sure you remember your passwords to log back into those emails. Worked instantly. Thank You.
This worked for me after a little waiting. Thanks!

At last something that worked for me. Thanks heaps for solving my problem.
Thanks so much that worked - as simple as signing out of my iCloud account and back in. Awesome 🙂
This did the job! Thanks a lot!
a hard reset of my iphone did the trick, then i was able to choose text message forwarding in settings on my phone, and the code appeared on my mac
before that, i tried deactivating, and then activating icloud on my phone in settings-messages, didn't work (by itself), as well as deselecting/selecting all my e-mail addresses
Found the answer to this. TURN ON WIFI AND BLUETOOTH on both devices. OMG Apple, W-T-F, tell people this is necessary in order to see the code!
Hard reset of my iPhone is worked for me.
