I noticed that on some devices (xiaomi redmi note 8 and macbook air) the SSIDs are not shown. For scruple I did the same test with mdk3 and "ESP8266 Deauther 2.0" and on these instead it works very well.

Could anyone explain to me why?

I have just picked this project up for the first time in a year and I am noticing the same strange behaviour. Try power cycle the MCU afew times and see if they start appearing after 1 minute. Mine have been appearing after doing this

every now and then someone appears but it is a fairly random thing. I think there is some type of mitigation system. From the apple this and more.

On the Deauther 2.0, however, everything runs smoothly. Maybe it's because the code is a little more recent. We are waiting for the response from the developer, I am very curious :)

Okay, it would seem that setting "append Spaces" to false solves the problem. But I'm too ignorant to understand why ^ _ ^

I suspect you are using the same string for all SSIDs. I did that and it didn't show anything. Change at least one char for each SSID and it works.
