^ You can try this. It's probably a difference between wpa_supplicant and the switch to iwd. If yes, there isn't much we can do about it other than point out that hidden SSIDs are a bit pointless (which is probably why the iwd devs haven't wasted much effort on support).

Might be related to Intel drivers and/or OpenWRT in the end. (This is what my wireless AP runs)

After upgrading from 10.0.3 to 11beta1 i also ran in this bug.

iwctl --passphrase <passphrase> station <device> connect-hidden <ssid>

Thanks @chewitt - this is the trick. For a dirty workaround, i just put this in my autostart.sh (Hidden SSIDs are pointless in matter of security but there are still a few use-cases for it ;-))

I'm closing this ticket as ConnMan intentionally has no support for hidden networks (and if they are hidden, how is it supposed to show them in a list?). Not-a-bug.
