How to create the connection between 2 agents and exchange the credentials

How to create the connection between 2 agents and exchange the credentials? For example, Alice's agent on the mobile app and Bob's agent on the cloud.

@thomas-tran we will have a full tutorial on this soon but the basic version is:

• Create a VC, Presentation, or SDR, with Agent 1
• POST the message to Agent 2 /handleMessage endpoint

Hope that helps!

Can you explain more detail? For example,
Agent 1 is a mobile agent built in iOS device app.
Agent 2 is a mobile agent build in Android device app.

How to establish connection between those 2 agents?
If you are using the cloud agent then I will know the url for /handleMessage endpoint. However, for mobile app how do I know the endpoint /handleMessage for the agent?

For the most part Veramo doesn't impose anything on your transport layer although we may provide some examples. The credential is just a piece of data so it can be sent like any other data depending on your use case. You could represent it as a QR code and scan it with the other app or save it as a file extension and email or send it over bluetooth. There is also WalletConnect that will allow connecting a mobile wallet to desktop application.

Also, note for cloud agent interactions using /handleMessage is more of an internal API. You would use the sendDIDComm endpoint which will figure out the endpoint based on the DID doc ~ (https://veramo-agent.herokuapp.com/api-docs/#/default/sendMessageDIDCommAlpha1)

/handleMessage can however be used internally on your node server app or React Native App.
