Does anyone know how you actually use this? I built the project and ran it then enabled Bluetooth on my Mac and iPhone somewhat expecting to receive a notification of the iBeacon but got nothing. Does it have to be coupled with an iOS app to work or can it send notifications even without an app installed?
I'm a little disappointed. The use case I had in mind was: Customer walks into a store with iBeacons and is given a notification that they tap which installs the app. I suppose this would have too much potential for abuse though.
Well the notification is for the app. So I think it is not intuitive for the app to notify the customer to install itself. Did you understand what I am trying to explain?
EDIT: Figured it out - You need an iOS app as well. There's one that can locate and display iBeacon info here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/locate-for-ibeacon/id7387090...
