Any update on this?

@waletoye @givod As the latest release is dated August 2018, looks like it's abandoned by Google. With this said, I see no reason for the Xamarin team to implement bindings for this.
You can create bindings yourself with Visual Studio without any problems or deep knowledge of Objective-C. I'd tried so two years ago to test the library in a Xamarin app.

Hello @rubo, I currently tried creating binding with objective Sharpie for this cocoapod library, when I try the command "Sharpie pod init Google Nearby Messages", it doesn't work, it takes forever, sometimes it returns with not found, I use Sharpie 3.4 on xcode 12. If you have a working binding you did, please share, cos I am way beyond my deadline. Thank you

@givod Here you go. It's the assembly only as I lost the source. As it was for testing purposes only, the namespace has been left intact. Anyway, I hope it will be helpful for you.
For more details, you can check it, for example, with dotPeek.

@rubo, thank you, will give it a try.
