Tested with esp32-s3 with the same issue.
ESP32-S3 with WiFiManager lib.

Can't find SSID AutoConnectAP, when the module is in AP mode.

Terminal output:

SPIFFS mounted
*wm:[1] AutoConnect
*wm:[2] ESP32 event handler enabled
*wm:[2] Connecting as wifi client...
*wm:[2] setSTAConfig static ip not set, skipping

I used 4 different mobile phones and different laptop PC to find esp32s3 in the WiFi list but the module was not broadcasting.

Used the latest library of WiFi manager v2.0.12-beta

Please advise what to do ??
