not working this way.
then I tried this command:
sudo create_ap wlp0s20f3 enp4s0 'kme' '12345678'

it gives this results:

Config dir: /tmp/create_ap.wlp0s20f3.conf.X9qkmbCK
PID: 8178
Network Manager found, set ap0 as unmanaged device... DONE
Creating a virtual WiFi interface... 

and get hang or loading

from linux-wifi-hotspot.

A workaround is:

1. launch command for start wi-hotspot
2. from bash execute:
   sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager
   sleep 5
   sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager

After first restart is created ap0
After second restart is started hotspot

Why??

Subscribed, I see the same thing as @bhavberi on my Linux Mint 21.3.

I sent a bugreport to "apparmor" gitlab. They said it's an old bug that's already patched, and probably not related to the wi-hotspot issue.
