Hi Devs, So I'm not the only one facing this issue. When we use MacBook and iPhone at the same time, the AirPods don't revert back to MacBook automatically and are needed to be connected manually by clicking on popup. Is this issue going to be solved in upcoming updates?

My employer has several MDM restrictions enabled for security reasons. Particularly, they disable Handoff in order to disable Universal Clipboard, since the two are coupled together in the MDM restrictions. This has the unfortunate side-effect of disallowing Mac Virtual Display on the Vision Pro, since it requires Handoff in order to work.
Is there another way for them to disable only Universal Clipboard using MDM restrictions? If not, how could I go about requesting that the MDM restrictions be more granular?
Universal Control works to share keyboard and mouse from one mac to another, but actually switching seems to require physically moving the mouse to the other display.
Ideally, I'd like Apple to support some command available via command-key equivalents to cycle to other devices in the way that we can cycle through applications or windows.
Seeking to program that directly, I was unable to find any Universal Control API's on point. Are there any? I can imagine restricted this to the OS only for security.
In case there are display-driven API's, I see that system settings/displays shows all the displays from all devices, but I was unable to find a UI or API's to change focus to another display (other than moving the mouse to select the display). When I list displays programmatically, I only see the device-local displays.
In case there are device-driven APIs: I can initialize a bluetooth session and secure credentials, but interaction seems to be unavailable.
I have a Mac Mini M1 running macOS 14.5 Sonoma. Until recently I was running iPadOS 17 on my iPad, and things worked just fine. I had the iPad setup so that it displayed its own stuff, but allowed my to operate my mouse on the iPad screen by moving past the left hand side of my monitor. This combined with copy and paste between iPadOS and macOS gave me a great workflow.
A couple of days ago I installed the dev beta of iPadOS 18 on my iPad, and seem to have lost access to all of the functionality described in the first paragraph. Can anyone advise of what I need to do to get it back, or is it just a case of waiting for Apple to re-establish the missing functionality in newer versions of the beta?
Looking for a spare phone anyone may have that they aren using that I can use with no strings attached. Thanks in advance for being a blessing f:)
