Upload fails - port does not exist

[electric-m]

Hey there,

I checked my USB Port with pio device list which produced
/dev/cu.usbserial-0292JZOE for my Wemos D1 mini esp32.

I added upload_port = /dev/cu.usbserial-0292JZOE to the platformio.ini

Still, the upload fails with this error:

Solved: Serial Console was still open and blocked the Port.

But now, I cant get the Access Point to start up.
I can Start command mode and trigger the config button, but AP does not appear visible.
