I used NIPeekaboo to check whether the Nearby Interaction connection is working or not in IOS14.2 beta.
However, I couldn't get the monkey display and the distance after running app on the device. Instead, I got these errors that show the connection fail.

The process that I did to check the connection was:

ran NIPeekaboo in two different devices.
got a pop up permission prompt for finding nearby devices and selected 'Allow Once'.
Text on the middle of the black screen turned to the name of the other device (but still couldn't get the monkey and the distance)
Waited about few seconds and the text on the middle changed to 'peer timeout'.

I want to know why the NI connection was failed.
Moreover, is there anything that I need to fix in the code or that I need to set before doing the test?

As long as both devices are iPhone 11 you should be good to go.

Would you mind creating a feedback report, attaching a log (https://developer.apple.com/services-account/download?path=/iOS/iOS_Logs/sysdiagnose_Logging_Instructions.pdf), and replying here with the feedback id?

Thanks for the bug report!

Also, depending on your region, the currently available betas have known on-device issues in certain regions as described in the latest release notes.

Thanks for your reply.

I knew that the beta 6 was released today and saw the supports of NI in South Korea, Japan, and Vietnam is now initiated. So I tried to use NI via NIPeekaboo again but still could not get the connection.

Every time I opened the app, the app was crashed and failed to be connected.
I tried to send the feedback(FB8540313) with the sysdiagnose for both device.

Thanks,
