Usage with react-native-webrtc?

[butchmarshall]

I'm researching packages right now to put together a walkie-talkie type application.

Would I be able to connect multiple devices together using this library and push audio/video through them via https://github.com/oney/react-native-webrtc?

I think that's what the intention of Google Nearby Connections, but this library currently only supports the Messages API, which is strictly low-bandwidth.

Yep that's exactly what I'm looking for!

Any plans to implement this API?

I ended up impementing it if your interested.

The only issue im having with the package is onEndpointLost never fires (when an endpoint is discovered, never is connected to, then moves out of range/ stops broadcasting) - if you have any insight I'd love to hear it.

Hi @butchmarshall are you saying you managed to implement a walkie-talkie type application in React Native?
I'd be super interested in understanding better how you did it! :)
