This app is part of an iBeacon demonstration of Swipe. The other part consists of the Sender app, also available in the Swipe Github account.
For this demonstration to work you'll need two iOS 7 devices that support Bluetooth 4.0: iPhone 4S and later, iPad 3 and later, iPod touch 5th gen and later.
-
Download both the Receiver (this repo) and Sender apps
-
Use ´uuidgen´ in OS X Terminal to create a unique UUID
-
Change the variable _uuidString in each app's view controller (there is just one) to the UUID you've created
-
Install each app on its own iOS device
-
Make sure to activate Bluetooth on both devices
-
Start the sender app and toggle the activate switch. You'll need to start the Receiver app before it can recognize regions. Keep the receiver device at a reasonable distance from the sender device, or you'll see the welcome screen immediately.
-
Have fun with beacons
You can also uncomment the UILabel _meterLabel in the SBRViewController, which will then display the approximate distance to the beacon. The label is not shown by default.
The sender advertises a CLBeaconRegion with the specified UUID. If the device running the receiver app enters the region matching this UUID (and the app is not in the foreground) it will show a notification to the user, asking them to bring the app to the foreground. When in the foreground, the app constantly checks the distance to the first beacon in the region, and displays an appropriate image if a certain distance is reached (1.5 meters and 3 meters, respectively).
