I would like to hide sections of Appendix from the table of contents, without losing the section number in the body of the document and section should be possible to reference.

I found a solution: hide an entry from Toc in latex

\newcommand{\toclesslab}[3]. 
{\bgroup\let\addcontentsline=\nocontentsline#1{#2\label{#3}}\egroup}

Usage: \toclesslab\section{Motivation}{s:motivation}

but it is showing two errors first after the command:

Argument of \label has an extra }.
Missing $ inserted.

second after the row

LaTeX Error: Not in outer par mode.
Undefined control sequence.
Missing number, treated as zero.

and it's not possible to use \label

is there a way to hide a section without losing number and still be referencable?

I have tried this too Remove specific subsection from TOC in LaTeX [duplicate]

Minimal reproducible example: https://latexbase.com/d/498aec5c-d490-47d5-a469-9c6df79a2962

Thank you

It is possible by using toc depth, but it is important to reset the depth back to the previous value or it can break other lists.

\appendix
\section*{Appendix}
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Appendix}

%Here's the place to hide section from ToC 
\addtocontents{toc}{\protect\setcounter{tocdepth}{0}}

\section{Appendix section}
\label{appendixSection}
Text

%At the end of the appendix it has to be set to the previous value
\addtocontents{toc}{\protect\setcounter{tocdepth}{2}}
