More than 8 peers in Multipeer framework

Question

Am I correct in assuming that no more than 8 peers can be connected and chatting in the same "room" with Apple's example code? https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/samplecode/MultipeerGroupChat/Introduction/Intro.html

This mentions the 8 maximum peer per session limit: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/MultipeerConnectivity/Reference/MultipeerConnectivityFramework/MultipeerConnectivityFramework.pdf

If so, how can the code be modified to allow more than 8 peers in the same chat room?

Thanks for any guidance.

Answer 1

8 is the practical maximum. We've tried to get more than 8 but can never do so reliably and we've spent a fair amount of time trying to make this happen as our app is a presentation app that allows the host to flip pages that automatically flip on the participant's devices.
