    <p>I'm using a Nordic BLE nRF8001 development kit for testing CoreBluetooth. Using CBCentralManager's methods(e.g. didDiscoverPeripheral(), didConnectPeripheral(), etc.) <strong>my iPhone 5 is able to detect the Nordic device's advertisements and connect to it just fine</strong>. However, I'm not receiving any response from the new locationManager ranging or regionMonitoring methods. Below I'll explain my setup:</p> <p>1.) First I retrieved my NSUUID from my Nordic device in the didDiscoverPeripheral() delegate method using the passed in peripheral device (my Nordic device). I created a custom service for my Nordic device among other things, so assume this peripheral is the Nordic device. To retrieve the NSUUID I used: </p> <pre><code> NSUUID *uuid = [peripheral identifier]; NSString *uuidString = [uuid UUIDString]; //uuidString = 9A8D4C73-152D-BBDA-E4C2-9CE952654645 </code></pre> <p>2.) Next I create a beacon region for my Nordic device and create a CLLocationManager:</p> <pre><code> self.locationManagerBeacon = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init]; [self.locationManagerBeacon setDelegate:self]; NSUUID *myUUID = [[NSUUID alloc] initWithUUIDString:@"9A8D4C73-152D-BBDA-E4C2-9CE952654645"]; self.beaconRegion = [[CLBeaconRegion alloc] initWithProximityUUID:myUUID identifier:@"nordicRegion"]; self.beaconRegion.notifyEntryStateOnDisplay = YES; </code></pre> <p>3.) Now I start monitoring for the beacon region</p> <pre><code>[self.locationManagerBeacon startRangingBeaconsInRegion:self.beaconRegion]; </code></pre> <p>4.) <strong>Problem</strong>: locationManager:didRangeBeacons:inRegion gets invoked, but the beacons region is always empty.</p> <p>Question: Does the Nordic BLE device need to be configured in a certain manner such that the new locationManager beacon methods will detect it (e.g. BLE advertisement frequency, power level, etc.)? If so, could someone point me to the documentation. </p> <p>Appreciate the help!</p>

    1. COSo, silly question: are you using an actual iBeacon? Or just an arbitrary BTLE device? Only a BTLE device broadcasting the iBeacon profile will really be treated as an "iBeacon".

    2. COI wonder if you could share your config/profile/sample code for setting up the nrf8001 advertisement as an iBeacon.

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
