I was following Google's documentation for using NearbyMessages API. I'm using Swift3. I have the following code to set up the app to publish to nearby.

let messageManager = GNSMessageManager(apiKey: "someky")
var publication: GNSPublication?
let message = GNSMessage(content:"name".data(using: .utf8))
if let messageManager = messageManager, let message = message {
   publication = messageManager.publication(with:message)
}

I ran the app on the simulator. Then the app crashes in the 5th line (The line in the if-let block). Here's part of the stack trace:

(

)

Since the messageManager and the message are both protected by the if-let block, I cannot find where is the nil exception coming from. Does anyone know why would there be a nil value in this block of code?

Thank you very much!

Does it work on a device? There is a bug in Nearby Messages 1.1.0 that causes a nil pointer exception on the simulator when you use BLE as a discovery medium.

Apologies! We'll get the bug fixed in the next release.
