AirDrop photo from iPhone to Macbook Pro says "waiting…" then "rejected" What I'm doing:


Open Photos on iPhone (7 plus, iOS 10.2.0)
Tap share icon
Wait for my laptop identity to appear in AirDrop section
Tap on my own face  (i.e., laptop identity)


Result:


My face says, "Waiting…"
After what I assume is a timeout delay, my face says, "Declined"


The MacBook Pro has Allow me to be discovered by: set to Everyone. The top Google search results seem to suggest logging out of iCloud, then back in, but it takes forever to reinstall everything, so I'd really rather not. ☹️
SOLUTION

ok after months of this on occasionally then off mostly and sat with the waiting. I found the solution

VPN, do you have any VPN like expressvpn or similar on your mac, if so turn it off and voila .
