Why is getConnectionInfo() marked temporary? about react-native-wifi-p2p HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi, @NoamDev
Well, it's good question :)
If you look at implementation of this method (https://github.com/kirillzyusko/react-native-wifi-p2p/blob/master/android/src/main/java/io/wifi/p2p/WiFiP2PManagerModule.java#L61) you can see this function has side effect (saving new info into local wifiP2pInfo variable).
And this method is only used in sendMessage/sendFile flow. And in future I would like to simplify these flows and get rid off the usage of this method.
That's why I marked this method as temporary - I don't know whether we need to have this method in future after simplifying flow or not :)
Nonetheless if I make breaking change I will publish new version as 2.x.x and prepare some migration documents.
So now you can use this method.
Did I answer on your question? :)

The lifecycle method is not an evil 😅
I was just curios why did I need to use this method in the sending messages/files flow. Why did I need to update a variable? As far as I remember I didn't see anything in official docs - that's why I marked this method as temporary.
I think I should remove this label :)
