I’m having the same issue (I have tried disabling the firewall using sudo ufw disable) where my android phone refuses connect. My phone gets stuck on the step of connecting where it says “Scanning…”. I’m thinking it’s a DHCP issue but I don’t actually know anything about networking.

I figured it out!! You have to switch network manager’s backend to iwd. Here’s a link to how to do that NetworkManager - ArchWiki
