* Fix bandwidth upgrade service ID usage. For instance, no longer use the inaccurate service ID from ClientProxy. * Add more fine-grained upgraded endpoint tracking using both service IDs and endpoint IDs * Only "revert" bandwidth-upgrade mediums--for example, stop accepting connections on a server socket--for a service when the last endpoint for that service is finished. These changes are necessary to support multiple services (e.g., Nearby Share and Phone Hub) and multiple mediums (e.g., WebRTC and WLAN). PiperOrigin-RevId: 442021257
Nearby C++ Library
The repository contains the Nearby project C++ library source code. This is not an officially supported Google product.
About the Nearby Project
Nearby Connection
Nearby Connections is a high level protocol on top of Bluetooth/WiFi that acts as a medium-agnostic socket. Devices are able to advertise, scan, and connect with one another over any shared medium (eg. BT <-> BT). Once connected, the two devices share a list of all supported mediums and attempt to upgrade to the one with the highest bandwidth (eg. BT -> WiFi). The connection is encrypted, reliable, and fully duplex. BYTE, FILE, and STREAM payloads are all supported and will be chunked & transferred internally and recombined on the receiving device. See Nearby Connections Overview for more information.

Building Nearby, Unit Testing and Sample Apps
We support multiple platforms including Linux, iOS & Windows.
Building for Linux
Currently we support building from source using [bazel] (https://bazel.build). Other BUILD system such as cmake may be added later.
###Prerequisites:
- Bazel
- clang with support for c++ 17+
- Openssl libcrypto.so (-lssl;-lcrypto).
To build the Nearby Connection Core library:
CC=clang CXX=clang++ bazel build -s --check_visibility=false //connections:core --spawn_strategy=standalone --verbose_failures
Building for macOS and iOS
Currently we support building with Swift Package Manager.
###Prerequisites:
- Xcode. Available from Apple Store.
- Google Protobuf Compiler (protoc). If you have homebrew installed, you can do
brew install protobuf.
To build the Nearby Connection library:
swift build
We also provide a iOS [sample app using the Nearby Connections library] (https://github.com/google/nearby/blob/master/internal/platform/implementation/ios/Example/NearbyConnectionsExample/README.md).
###Limitation The only Medium supported is Wifi LAN.
