Please check if your wifi device name is wlan0 or something different. Run the following command to view your device name

nmcli device | grep wifi | awk '{print $1}'

Well, I have the same issue: "gregory@medius ~ nmcli device | grep wifi | awk '{print $1}' wlan0"

Edit: Solved, In my case it was due to kernel misconfiguration, had to enable wext and rfkill support

I have this issue, in my case the interface names do match...

$ nmcli device | grep wifi | awk '{print $1}'
wlp5s0
$ grep 'WIFI_IFACE' /etc/create_ap.conf
WIFI_IFACE=wlp5s0
# journalctl -w
[...]
