I need to read distance between device and beacon in my iOS app. In android when I use monitoring I can retrieve rssi but how can I do this in iOS? Can someone help me?
Check out this thread about running ranging for a few seconds upon receiving an “enter” event:
I believe this has been covered but I want to make sure I understand things correctly.
If I for example perform background monitoring for a region defined only be a UUID, then there is no way, without ranging, to get the major/minor values of the beacon that triggered the didEnterRegion method. Is that correct? And that in order to perform ranging, the app must be in the foreground?
I would imagine a popular use case (and exactly what I am trying to do) would be something like grab the beacon …
With ranging, you can access the RSSI and distance estimations.
