iBeacon Tutorial with iOS and Swift

Samosrfist & Nfilipe,
Not sure what to say. Without your hardware in front of me, its a bit hard to troubleshoot.

One thing I always check is that the Beacon module isn’t aready connected to another device or another app on the same device and therefore stops sending advertising packets.

Found the cause of my problem… the beacons were not broadcasting the default uuid. On the final version of the android app i was not testing for it.
So thanks to this I solved 2 errors.
Thanks,

Great tutorial. Thanks a lot!

Could you please suggest some nice hardware iBeacons? Suitable for this tutorial application purposes. I mean rather small ibeacons to put to cats collar :smile: or to bags, laptops etc.

Hey novoselov,
Personally, I haven’t used many off the shelf beacons. The applications I work with require custom hardware so I write the beacon code.
From a little experience though, I’ve had bad experience with the cheap, no-name ones. Some of them were just BLE devices but didn’t conform to the beacon advertising standard and therefore was not recognizable by a beacon scanner.
