Hi, we’re having a problem on iOS devices where AirDrop functionality is not working properly when an Allowlist policy is applied. I can hear the pinging sound, but the prompt to accept the transfer never appears on the receiving device. Has anyone else run into this issue or found a workaround?

That’s strange! Is the problem happening on specific devices or versions of iOS?

It seems to happen on devices with iOS version 18 and above. When the Allowlist policy is in place, the transfer doesn’t show the usual prompt, even though the ping sound plays.

Hmm, that sounds like an OS-level issue, possibly related to how AirDrop and the Allowlist are interacting. I found a similar discussion on the Apple Developer Forums about an issue where AirDrop prompts aren’t showing up correctly in specific configurations.

Hi, you might want to try adding these bundle IDs to the Allowlist using a configuration profile. It worked for us as a workaround:
“com.apple.Sharing.AirDropUI”, “com.apple.sharingd.AirDrop”, “com.apple.datausage.airdrop”, “com.apple.sharingd”, “com.apple.AirDrop”, “com.apple.bluetoothd”, “com.apple.CommCenter”, “com.apple.wifi”, “com.apple.NetworkExtension”, “com.apple.Bluetooth”
