Description
It would be nice if this API could be implemented into microG. It allows peer to peer communication between devices, but Google tied it to its services.
I am pretty sure some parts of nearby are already supported, but the connections API is not.
I get this exception when trying to use it: com.google.android.gms.common.api.ApiException: 17: Error resolution was canceled by the user, original error message: CANCELED: null

Research direction
Start by inspecting the existing Nearby support in microG and reproducing the reported ApiException when using the Connections API. The issue names no files or tests; done would mean implementing the missing Google Nearby Connections API support and confirming peer-to-peer use no longer fails with the reported error.
