Becon detection in iphone is random
Hi just bought your beacon ane. I am using your example. In android it works fine. In iphone , the beacon detection is very random . Sometimes it doesn't detect uuid at all . Is there any settings I am missing?
Cheers

Hi Owen,
The device must be an iBeacon. This is not a generic Bluetooth LE scanner, so you have to make sure that the device is setup to use the iBeacon protocol and is broadcasting the appropriate data.

Hi guys
I note that this is "completed" but I am using the latest ANE from GitHub and on iOS I never seem tio detect an iBeacon (and I am using a beacon that supports the iBeacon protocol; it works perfectly in the LightBlue app)
I am using your TestBeacon app and get a lot of this...
beacon_monitoringStartHandler(): region_1_identifier::21FD9FEA-6D26-6988-9E99-CA0BB9A0F2C3
Beacon update for region: 21FD9FEA-6D26-6988-9E99-CA0BB9A0F2C3
Beacon update for region: 21FD9FEA-6D26-6988-9E99-CA0BB9A0F2C3But never anything from
message( "Beacon: "+beacon.major+"."+beacon.minor +"::"+beacon.proximity +"["+beacon.accuracy +"]");
There never appears to be a beacon in the event.beacons array, but this UUID defintely exists and is found using LightBlue.
Help?

Can you have a look in the device console and pull out the logs for me?

This program here:

What software are you using to emulate a beacon then?

Taylor Artunian commented
I'm using my laptop

What are you using as test beacons?

I'm having the same issue here. I'm using the TestBeacon example and its not finding my laptop. I've tested both scenarios (laptop is beacon/iPhone is beacon) with other apps and get instantaneous responses. Any ideas?

Basically I am just running your sample code in flash builder 4.6, running with the current version of Adobe Air SDK 13.0, in windows 7 and testing in iphone 5 ios 7.1.
The android app built with this ane from the same code is working fine. Its just the ios app is not working properly. It did detect beacon when I try to leave the app on for more than 10 mins. Let me know your thoughts on this. -
Hi,
We're going to need some more information on what you've tried and you're development environment before we can help you any further. As much information you can provide, including iOS version, your test device, AIR SDK version etc.
Regards

It does not detect uuid at all.

What do you mean by random? Do you mean it takes time to detect the enter/exit region events or are you talking about ranging data?
