I\'m having trouble with staying connected using the Multipeer Connectivity Framework in iOs7. Currently my app is programmatically handling the browsing and advertising using M
EDIT Used a support ticket with Apple and they confirmed that calling sendData with too much data or too often can cause disconnects.
EDIT My hypothesis is that Apple has a thread or queue that is polling to check if peers are connected. If this thread / queue stalls (i.e. a breakpoint is hit or the app pegs the CPU or does something that takes a while on the main thread) it appears that this causes a disconnect.
Creating my session without encryption seems to have helped performance and with the disconnects, although they still happen.
MCPeerID* peerId = [[MCPeerID alloc] initWithDisplayName:self.displayName];
self.peer = [[MultiPeerPeer alloc] initWithDisplayName:peerId.displayName andPeer:peerId];
self.session = [[MCSession alloc] initWithPeer:peerId securityIdentity:nil encryptionPreference:MCEncryptionNone];
In addition, I have found calling sendData too often (more than 30-60 times a second) can cause the framework to get in a bad state and cause freezes and disconnects.
