My MacBook Pro pro can't see my Android phone wifi hotspot, when I got the phone new the MacBook was seeing the hotspot and I was connecting to it but after some months it stopped seeing the network. It sees other wifi network around but can't see that of my Android phone
It also happened with my Fujitsu Laptop running Windows 10, sometime ago and I was able to solve the issue by resetting my network.
I have tried disabling my network and putting it up again by doing ( sudo ifconfig en0 down ) on the Terminal but it still did not work, I tried disabling the wifi by going to System preferences ->> Network ->> select the wifi from the left hand bar ->> and clicking on ( – "Delete the selected service") and used the ( + "Create a new service") to add it again but it still did not work.

Have you tried using a Bluetooth PAN? Turn on your hotspot and open bluetooth settings on both your Mac and phone. You should be able to see your phone show up and pair with it.
