I have an OS X app (10.11.5) which has a button called AirDrop, which does:
- (IBAction)airDrop: (NSButton *)sender { NSArray *shareItems = list of one or more urls of pdf files NSSharingService *service = [ NSSharingService sharingServiceNamed: NSSharingServiceNameSendViaAirDrop]; service.delegate = self; // probably not needed [service performWithItems:shareItems]; } Usually this just works: I click the AirDrop button, a Panel slides down with a picture of the pdf (or a symbol for multiple files if more than one). I grab my iPad (which has “AirDrop: Contacts Only" set) and unlock it. The AirDrop panel on the Mac shows (after a few seconds) my Mac Login picture, I click it, and all is well. Sometimes it does not work correctly: In this case I have to set the iPad to “AirDrop: Everyone". A generic user picture will appear on the Mac and it will still work. But sometimes it does not work at all: I can do whatever (like restarting the iPad; restarting the Mac) but still no picture of a recipient will appear in the Mac AirDrop Panel. How can I debug this?

Found some log messages, which seem to be related: Clicking my AirDrop button: 27/05/2016 12:17:41.630 sharingd[17313]: 12:17:41.629 : Bonjour discovery started 27/05/2016 12:17:41.662 sharingd[17313]: 12:17:41.662 : BTLE advertiser Powered On 27/05/2016 12:17:41.664 sharingd[17313]: 12:17:41.663 : BTLE advertising hashes <01ca38ce b5742b51 4900> 27/05/2016 12:17:41.667 sharingd[17313]: 12:17:41.666 : SDBonjourBrowser::failedToStartAdvertisingWithError Error Domain=NSMachErrorDomain Code=8 "(os/kern) no access" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=wirelessproxd can't start advertising at this time.} 27/05/2016 12:17:43.720 sharingd[17313]: 12:17:43.719 : SDBonjourBrowser::failedToStartAdvertisingWithError Error Domain=NSMachErrorDomain Code=8 "(os/kern) no access" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=wirelessproxd can't start advertising at this time.} Clicking “Cancel" in the AirDrop Panel: 27/05/2016 12:19:46.595 AirDrop[17426]: Error in CoreDragRemoveTrackingHandler: -1856 27/05/2016 12:19:46.595 AirDrop[17426]: Error in CoreDragRemoveReceiveHandler: -1856 27/05/2016 12:19:46.658 sharingd[17313]: 12:19:46.657 : Bonjour discovery stopped 27/05/2016 12:19:46.671 sharingd[17313]: 12:19:46.671 : BTLE advertising stopped But still don’t know what to do.
