Nearby Connections support for iOS & delay in sending the message by "Nearby Messages"

[shrawan2015]

As now we are not able to implement Nearby Connections for iOS so that we can communicate between Android and iOS.

As well as we can see the delay in sending the message by "Nearby Messages" between iOS devices.

Sample code:

func subscribeValue(){
      guard let gnsManager = gnsManager else {
          return
      }

      subscribtion = gnsManager.subscription(messageFoundHandler: { (message: GNSMessage?) in
          if let message = message, !message.content.isEmpty {
              self.subscribedMessage.text = "Message found: \(String.utf8encoded(data: message.content)!) \(message.messageNamespace!) \(message.type!)"
          }
      }, messageLostHandler: { (message: GNSMessage?) in
          guard let message = message else { return }
      }, paramsBlock: {(params: GNSSubscriptionParams?) in
          guard let params = params else { return }

          params.statusHandler = {(status: GNSOperationStatus) in
          }

          params.strategy = GNSStrategy(paramsBlock: { (strategyParams) in
              strategyParams?.discoveryMediums =  .BLE
              strategyParams?.discoveryMode = .scan
          })
      })
  }

func publishData(){
      let valueInString = "\(value)"
      let message = GNSMessage(content: valueInString.data(using: .utf8))
      nearbyPublication = gnsManager?.publication(with: message,
                                                  paramsBlock: { (params: GNSPublicationParams?) in
          guard let message = message else { return }
          guard let params = params else { return }

          params.permissionRequestHandler = { (permissionHandler: GNSPermissionHandler?) in
              self.updateLog("Microphone permission error")
          }
          params.statusHandler = { (status: GNSOperationStatus) in
          }

          params.strategy = GNSStrategy(paramsBlock: { (strategyParams) in
               strategyParams?.discoveryMediums = .BLE
              strategyParams?.discoveryMode = .broadcast
          })
      })
  }

Is there any better way to send data ?

We're working on iOS support for Nearby Connections. :)

Also, in the future, please post questions that are not related to the sample apps themselves on StackOverflow (tagged with https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/google-nearby).

Apologies for the bump here @reznor but do you know if any progress has been made or when it will be released? Really appreciate it
