MacBook Air icon does not show in airdrop

That is not exactly a development issue, but more a Mac configuration (which may hide other problems ?).

I use a new MacBookAir with MacOS 26.

When I Airdrop from another Mac (15.7.8) the MacBookAir does not show any icon but a blank area, whilst other devices show their icons:

That seems an old issue with MacBookAir: https://www.reddit.com/r/macbookair/comments/1benu4o/blank_airdrop_icon/

Beside this, Airdrop works OK.

Just as if the MacBookAir icon was missing in some system file ?

Has anyone a solution ?

I filed a bug report FB24034384

Thanks for the bug @Claude31 as always great description, however your question seems related to a consumer feature and is better suited for the Apple Support Communities as this is not in a beta version. I would suggest to post the question there to get better visibility for AirDrop:
