The timeframe for the Apple-Google solution is unclear. I’ve seen “later this year” mentioned rather than days, weeks, or months.

The official timeframe has been 'May' ever since the original announcement. First version of the API is now reported to be available on April 28th:

I originally heard May, now it's being suggested that it's this week or next.
