This seems like a pretty cool project!

I am not very familiar with WiFi Direct, but my understanding was that Apple does not support it (as in: it will not be possible to communicate between iOS and Android using this plugin). Is that correct?

You're right, iOS only supports something called MultipeerConnectivity. Maybe it's possible to use native WiFi functionality to connect both OS' (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/network)

I believe that Apple just does not play with the others on the WiFi-Direct matters (surprised? :trollface:). They have their own thing. What's probably possible is to have one smartphone create an AP and let the others connect to it. But that's not WiFi-Direct.

Hmmm.... a little bit complicated way.

Is there no way to do something about it ?

Ask Apple to play with the others? :D
