Managed Macs not appearing in AirDrop discovery

Hi all, I’m hitting a wall with our managed macOS fleet. We use Hexnode to manage about 50 MacBook Pros. I’ve confirmed that AirDrop is enabled in the Advanced Restrictions section of our policy, but for some reason, these Macs cannot receive files.  My users can send files from their managed Macs to unmanaged devices perfectly fine, but the managed Macs never show up as an available…

I just hit the APN Certificate setup page in Hexnode. Do I really need to configure this for testing, or can I skip it?
