AirDrop works normally from my iPad to my MacBook Air, and I can send files to the iPad from other devices. However, the iPad will not accept AirDrop transfers from my Mac unless I change its receiving setting to "Everyone for 10 Minutes." I've restarted both devices, confirmed they use the same iCloud account, tried adding my contact as a known contact, and even ran the Bluetooth reset command `sudo pkill bluetoothd` in Terminal. The contact-selection screen also becomes blank whenever I try to add someone. I rely on AirDrop many times a day for school and would really like to fix the contacts-only behavior. What else should I check?

What exact software versions are both devices running? The Mac is a 2020 M1 MacBook Air on Sequoia 15.5, while the iPad is a third-generation iPad Air listed as running version 26.6.1. Those version details may help identify a compatibility or AirDrop settings issue.
