Can't find NearShareReceiver

[wenchaotao]

I am trying to use the sample code in nearsharestandalone project, looks like the SDK currently only has the API for the sender (ie. NearShareSender). Does anyone know if and when a receiver API (ie. NearShareReceiver) will be available? Thanks.

@wenchaotao Currently the Nearby Share APIs only work in one direction, from Android to Windows. Android cannot be a receiver of the shared content.

Is there any plan to add the receiver API, and estimated timeline if there is?

@wenchaotao It is currently on the backlog, but not actively being developed.

It would be helpful to include this in the docs somewhere as this is not clear from the current documentation.

I’m currently trying to implement the MS-CDP and NearShare protocol myself.
