We are currently using the Nearby Connections package in our Flutter application for peer-to-peer (P2P) communication between devices.
However, the package is no longer actively maintained / supported, and we are facing compatibility and stability concerns with the latest Flutter and Android versions.
Our use case includes:
- Offline device-to-device communication
- Peer discovery
- Data transfer between nearby devices
- Android-first support (iOS support optional)
We are looking for:
1. Recommended alternatives for Nearby Connections in Flutter
2. Production-ready solutions/packages
3. Suggestions for implementing stable P2P/offline communication
4. Experiences from developers who migrated away from Nearby Connections
Preferred technologies can include:
- Wi-Fi Direct
- BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy)
- Multipeer Connectivity
- WebRTC
- Local network sockets
- Native Android/iOS integration with platform channels
Any guidance, architecture suggestions, or maintained packages would be helpful.
