things i've tried so far..
1. Turning off BT -> deleting Library/Preferences/com.apple.Bluetooth.plist -> turning ON again connecting ipad and then paired with ipad also

2. removing ethernet cable and setting up WIFI as the highest in the priority list
3. turning OFF all wifi/BT in both devices and starting over.
4. Turning OFF Firewall and disabling "block all incoming connections

note : I have enabled Airdrop from my ipad using control center always "everyone" during testing
None of these works and also my System report says that this MBP is compatible with Airdrop
