1$\begingroup$ EEVEE doesn't use the Shadow Catcher, it's a Cycle's (X) Feature. $\endgroup$– Marty FoutsCommented Jan 28, 2022 at 19:23

It's a shame nobody answered your question. My problem I found was using an older mac. I had the same problem and stumbled on this forum. I found the reason Shadow Catcher was not showing up in my 3.2.2 version of Blender was because on my older mac, the CPU's did not support that feature. How I found that out was by going to the top menu of "edit", then down to "Preferences". In preferences went down to "System". At the top of system under Cycle Render Devices is 'None' or 'Metal' When I clicked 'Metal', it said, "No compatible GPUs found for Cycles. Requires Apple Silicon with macOS 12.2 or newer or ADM with macOS 12.3 or newer. My mac is still running High Sierra 10.13.6. Hope that helps.
