Remarks
Application developers may use a non-Multipeer Connectivity discovery technique, such as Bonjour / NSNetService, and manually manage peer connection. However, the peerID used here and in NearbyConnectionDataForPeer(MCPeerID, MCSessionNearbyConnectionDataForPeerCompletionHandler) must originate from a NSKeyedArchiver serializing an MCPeerID on the remote peer. (This raises the question: if discovery and enough message-passing code to transmit the peerID is done by Bonjour, what's the advantage of using MPC for further communication? One answer might be the evolution of a legacy system, another answer might lie in the simpler message- and resource-passing of MPC.)
