lockdown mode not allowing airdrops from ipone 12 Pro to mac M1?

I have a MacBook Pro `M1 chip which had no issues for airdrop from my iPhone 12 Pro. Two to three weeks before there were updates on IOS and applied those updates on both Iphone and Mac book pro. Afer that airdrop are not accepted from MacBook to iPhone. When I disabled the lockdown on both devices , airpdrop works very well. There were three Case IDs: were raised without any success from technical team. One of the case is for HIEC file when converted to PDF it increases the size to 10 times. For this also there is no solution found.

That would appear to be as expected. Lockdown Mode is expressly designed to signficantly limit the communications allowed to and from a locked device.

About Lockdown Mode - Apple Support

While that support page doesn't specifically mention AirDrop, I'm not surprised that Lockdown Mode blocks that connection. So I would categorize this as "working as intended".

Without knowing more details about your issue with an HEIC image and converting it to PDF, I can't offer any thoughts about that.

Regards.
