Abstract

An example method performed by a first computing device executing an operating system includes receiving a request to form, with a second computing device, a wireless communication link, and sending, to the second computing device, a first message representing the request to form the wireless communication link. The method also includes prior to the operating system providing to the application a notification that the wireless communication link has been formed, sending, to the second computing device, a second message representing a request to receive data via the wireless communication link to confirm that the wireless communication link has been formed. The method also includes receiving, from the second computing device, the data confirming that the wireless communication link has been formed, and based on receiving the data, sending via the operating system to the application, the notification indicating that the wireless communication link has been formed.
