I just installed InSSIDer for MacOS (Catalina, 10.15.6), and I see that it does not display radios with hidden SSIDs. As a test, I enabled a new SSID, with SSID broadcast enabled, and it showed up on the channel list.
Is this a known issue? Is it going to be addressed? Or is there an option somewhere to enable the display of hidden SSIDs?

Ping on this old topic, hidden SSID
MacBook Pro mid 2012, version 10.15.7 Catalina
inSSIDer beta version 0.0.4.5
Scan reliability picks ups centurylink0814 at -70dbm, occasionally picks up a single hidden
SSID from the t-mobile gateway. Then drops the t-mobile gateway, The t-mobile is config with two SSID, both hidden. One of which is currently enabled on the Mac.
Retest at night, see three separate centurylink radios, and two to three more radios all in the -80+ dim range, but the hidden are not displayed.
Apple. Airport utility put onto scan mode shows the following consistently
