Doesn't seem to work.

sudo ./manager.py off
./manager.py status
AWDL is running

It is not clear in the README.md, but /usr/local/bin/awdlkiller could be quarantined.

Navigate to Apple icon top-left > System Settings > Privacy & Security > Security section > click "Allow" for awdlkiller. If the button is not there try running sudo awdl on then sudo awdl off and check again.

Edit: the terminal command was listed in https://github.com/jamestut/awdlkiller/releases/tag/v1.1 to remove awdlkiller from quarantine: xattr -d com.apple.quarantine awdlkiller.zip

On a side note, awdlkiller is still needed on macOS Sonoma 14.6.1 (23G93) 😭.

UPDATE: looks like awdlkiller is no longer needed on macOS Sequoia 15.0.1. Pings are stable 🎉.

UPDATE:
Issue intermittently occurs based on comment below, but still stable for with interface awdl0 up.

Unfortunately, I am still facing this problem on macOS Sequoia 15.0.1. 😭
But my coworkers don't have this problom, awdl0 process in their computer is running.
I have no idea.

I had a service to do this every few seconds (kill the daemon) and it worked for a while but now the problem is back. I read that its a HW issue and I don't have it on a pro M1 (or M2) I forget. But I have it in spades on m3 air. My question is that repository this was started in 2024 but I thought the issue was with the M3 air. Is it confined to particular HW or not?
