debugging AirDrop (update)

I have an OS X app (10.11.5) which has a button called AirDrop, which does:

- (IBAction)airDrop: (NSButton *)sender
{
	NSArray *shareItems = list of one or more urls of pdf files
	NSSharingService *service = [ NSSharingService sharingServiceNamed: NSSharingServiceNameSendViaAirDrop];
	service.delegate = self;	//	probably not needed
	[service performWithItems:shareItems];
}

Usually this just works:
I click the AirDrop button, a Panel slides down with a picture of the pdf (or a symbol for multiple files if more than one).
I grab my iPad (which has “AirDrop: Contacts Only" set) and unlock it.
The AirDrop panel on the Mac shows (after a few seconds) my Mac Login picture, I click it, and all is well.

Sometimes it does not work correctly:
In this case I have to set the iPad to “AirDrop: Everyone". A generic user picture will appear on the Mac and it will still work.

But sometimes it does not work at all:
I can do whatever (like restarting the iPad; restarting the Mac) but still no picture of a recipient will appear in the Mac AirDrop Panel.

How can I debug this?

Found some log messages, which seem to be related:

Clicking my AirDrop button:

Clicking “Cancel" in the AirDrop Panel:

27/05/2016 12:19:46.671 sharingd[17313]: 12:19:46.671 : BTLE advertising stopped

But still don’t know what to do.

Gerriet.
