GoOpenDrop neither sending nor recieving

[bodaay]

The -N is just a hack to get it to work with devices without active monitoring
You never need that with supported chipset

I faced similar issue when i first started this whole thing, most of them were because of outdated articles and unnecessary steps

Owl is really awesome and can do everything without any extra configuration

Thanks for sharing your feedback, really appreciate it

[bodaay]

is Airdrop set to Everyone or contacts only mode? you can of course use contacts only mode, given all the parameters set correctly and you added a contact with the same Apple ID in the extraction step

[IronBit-0]

The iPhone's airdrop was set to Everyone mode, tried it again with Contacts Only mode to the same effect: showing Airdrop Beacons Received from address on the console, but nothing on the iPhone's end.

If it matters, I got the apple_root_ca.pem from opendrop, not from the key generation.

config.json set to:

{
    "inbox_folder":"INBOX",
    "outbox_folder":"OUTBOX",
    "owl_wlan_dev_name":"mon0",

this will happen if OWL is not working properly,
in init.go, comment this line:

go owl.StartOwlInterface(config.OwlWlanDeviceName, config.OwlChannel, config.AWDLInterfaceName, log)

run owl in a separate terminal:

ifconfig down wlan1 && owl -i wlan1

and run GoOpenDrop

try to send the file again,
check the logs of OWL in the sepaarate thread, check are you getting "Add Device", with that you will know if your phone has joined the AWDL link

everyything look fine from your side, BLE is workig 100%
GoOpenDrop is sending and detecting the beacons

the only thing I can think of is double check OWL by running it with:

owl -vv -i interfacename

check if you are getting errors in OWL, usually they are Injecting Frames errors

The output was long, so I cut some parts out. Most of it was just "send MIF" "send PSF". The output was the usual for the goopendrop terminal.

[bodaay]

the not handling errors are normal, OWL is not implementing the full AWDL protocol

but Sync errors and send errors are not normal

I have not tested the wifi adapter you are using, though it has the same chipset I tested in Linksys Adapter

try restarting the adapter, unplugging and plugging.
you can clearly see in the logs its failing to send multicase packets used in discovery of devices

[IronBit-0]

after restarting the pi and unplugging/plugging the adapter, I'm still getting the multicast retries.
If it's of any help:

I'm just curious of one thing, why your wlan adapter is called mon0? are you by any chance using airmon to create the adapter?

I know in some articles sepcially with Nexamon they are using airmon utils to create this mon0, but to be honest I've never needed this since owl is automatically configuring the interface properly

thats why I mentioned in my first answer, just run it using:

ifconfig down wlan1 && owl -i wlan1

the first statement to make sure that you don't adapter busy, owl always enabling the adapter, putting it in monitor mode with out any extra software from airmon utils

I'm not sure if this is the reason, but its worth it to try this

[IronBit-0]

I was previously running iw phy phy1 interface add mon0 type monitor, which I got from this article, and I was using the name mon0 because I was too lazy to change it to wlan0. However, instead of creating a new device with iw, I just used the existing wlan1 device (the antenna), and that worked. Also previously I was running ifconfig mon0 up, then running owl with the -N flag. I don't know if that also made a difference, but it all works now.
