[web-nfc] Unable to transfer data between peer-devices

== Unable to transfer data between peer-devices ==
Hello,

I did some experiments with the web-nfc API and I'm curious about why the peer-to-peer examples does not work.

The API works fine when pushing and reading messages to and from passive NFC tags.
However when trying to push and read a message from a peer to peer device it does not work.
I tried setting the nfc push options to 'peer' and 'any' and provided a 'timeout' but without success.
So after waiting for the x milliseconds provided the timeout error kicks in.
It looks like the devices are unable to find each other.
The devices are able to transfer data to each other when using the android beaming service.

Is this behavior when reading and pushing data between peer devices known?

Any guidance on how to push/read data to/from peer devices would be appreciated.
