Beacon Notifications

I just updated my iPhone5 to iOS 8.1. The beacon notification feature is no longer functioning in my application. I ran the sample Estimote application and don't see the notify demo or the Proximity demo providing any notification either. Is there a new SDK available for iOS 8.1?

Hey—iOS 8 requires apps to explicitly ask for permissions to show notifications. We updates our Examples app to account for that, please make sure you have the latest version from GitHub checked out:
