Google Nearby Connections API (iOS, Android)

199 views Asked by At

We are trying to use Google's Nearby Connections API for Android and iOS: https://developers.google.com/nearby/connections/overview and in the description it's saying: "The Nearby Connections API is available for Android and iOS, and enables communication between the two platforms." Does anyone who already used this framework, and were able to make communication between the 2 platform? as of 2023 Dec, it seems that it's still not working.

we were able to communicate beetween

Android <> Android

iOS <> iOS

But it's not working between iOS <> Android.

We are using the samep service id, setted up properly the info.plist on the iOS side *generated the tcp service name from the service id. (generated here: https://developers.google.com/nearby/connections/swift/get-started)

what else we should setup to communicate between the 2 platforms? any idea?

iOS <> Android should work as long as the service IDs match and both devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. It should definitely work with the "Point-to-Point" strategy, but I haven't personally tested "Cluster" or "Star", so not sure if those work.
