NearbyMessages API support #906

Open Dragonic89 opened 8 years ago

Dragonic89 commented 8 years ago

Hi,

We already have the NearbyConnections API that let us discover and connect to another device on the same local network. It's already a good functionnality but I'm really interested about the NearbyMessages API.

https://developers.google.com/nearby/messages/overview

It could be awesome to create applications for smartphones where you can interact with anyone nearby with only an active datas connection. This can't be done with the NearbyConnections API, which require to be connected on the same local network for nearby users.

Thanks for the suggestion!

May I ask for some news about this subject !? Is it a difficult task so it can't be easily planified ?

Hi @Dragonic89 - It is simply not a priority at this time. There is support for nearby play using the Nearby Connections API, just not the messages API.

With that said, this is an open sourced project and you should feel free to contribute new features and functions to help the project along!
