Can't disable stealth mode and make my MacBook Pro available for incoming connections.

Tried to share some files from my iPhone via airdrop in very first time, found out that firewall settings had to be changed.


The problem is that in firewall settings windows, settings checkboxes are unselectable. Grey color and any changes can't be done.


MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.5

The application firewall is preventing you from using file sharing services. Turn it off.
