Is iOS 7 Multipeer Connectivity compatible with Android Wi-Fi Direct?

Question

I\'ve been looking at iOS 7\'s new P2P networking framework, MultipeerConnectivity, and from the description, it seems to me that it uses a combination of some kind of Wi-Fi

Answer 1

No, the two are not compatible.

The MultipeerConnectivity documentation you linked to explicitly states (emphasis mine):

The Multipeer Connectivity framework provides support for discovering services provided by nearby iOS devices

Although you may be able to hack together a workaround akin to the short-lived iMessage app for Android, I wouldn't recommend it.
