Universal Control not working on MacOS 15.1

I didn't realize how dependent I am on universal control until it was taken away. Since recently upgrading (either my Mac or my iPad, not sure) it won't work.

Mac: M2 Air, 16GB, 15.1

iPad: M1 12.9" Pro, iPadOS 18.1

Signed into both devices on same iCloud account. Both devices on same network. Currently sitting about 6" apart from each other. Handoff is on on Mac and iPad. Universal Control.app is set to "allow incoming connections" in my firewall settings. I have reset both machines.

MacBook Air (M2, 2022)

Log out of your iCloud account on both/all devices and log back in. It cleared the problem for me and many others.

Looks like you are not the only one. Many users are facing this issue. I tried everything too, still won't work. Apple needs to fix this bug. Everything was working fine before upgrading to the latest OS on both iPad Pro and MBP.

My system spec:

MacBook Pro 16 M2 Max with macOS 15.1

iPad Pro M1 with iPadOS 18.1
