I can confirm airdrop now works, tested on my iPhone 6 (running iOS9) and Macbook Air 13" Early 2014 (running 10.11.1)
- As for the new emojis, iOS9 doesn't support them yet. Tried sending the new smilies from Mac to iPhone and only received question marks, will probably be supported once 9.1 is out
- noticed also that the battery power estimate value is back to its normal levels for my Macbook Air. Before (10.10) I was getting 7-8 hours average (minimal use), after 10.11 it went down to 3-4 hours. with 10.11.1, its back to the usual 7-8 hours average again

I've been having issues with iOS 9 and El Capitan, through all betas and GM and release. Same with 9.1 Beta and 10.11.1 beta. Frustrating!
Airdrop works fine on my late 2011 MBP on 10.11 GM with modded BT card after a clean install.
When I installed 10.11 over Yosemite, Airdrop did not work.

My macbook can't find my iPhone via airdrop..driving me slightly mad
Everybody with Airdrop issues, do the following test: disconnect your devices from your WiFi networks, but don't turn WiFi off on your Macbooks/iPhones/iPads. Just use the "Disconnect" or "Forget this network" options in OS X or iOS. Then try using Airdrop between your devices and see if it works or not.
This was the only way I made Airdrop work again on my devices (rMBP/10.11, iPhone 6+/9.0.1).

Thanks if I 'forget this network' via iPhone -have I got to setup router password etc
You will be prompted to enter the WiFi password once when you reconnect your iPhone to the network.
I can airdrop photo's and share via iCloud via iOS/macbook..its just finder that doesn't see my iPhone.
I tried removing network settings iOS
Maybe macbook will 'see' my iPhone when El Capitan is released tomorrow.

Try resetting NVRAM/SMC (not exactly sure which one fixes the problem since I did both at the same time). My MBP can finally see my iPhone and vice versa.
That's the latest developer preview, right? Guess I'll have to sit tight as I'm running the regular Public Betas.
