I have a file I need to send to my 2018 MacBook Pro via AirDrop, from my iPhone 11 Pro Max. I sent it successfully to my iMac, but when attempting to send to MacBook Pro it says waiting.

Please advise.

Thanks

I found this answer, hope it will helpful.

- Visited the Genius bar to have this matter solved.

- Problem seemed to be within the AppleID rather than some setting I had.

- They solved it after going into Settings > Phone > Blocked Contacts and finding there that (for some reason unknown to me) one of my emails and phone numbers (that they were included in My info contact) were, in fact, blocked.

- After that Airdrop started working as intended throughout all my devices.

Highly unlikely that this would be mistakenly blocked by many users. Sounds very edge case to me - or it’s a big and we all have it.
