Getting information on ibeacon(position/RSSI) using EILLocationManager

1

Hi

On fetching a configured location from ‘My Locations’ in estimote, I am trying to get information on which beacon is the closest and whats it’s RSSI value.
How do I go about it?

Also, can I use addBeaconWithIdentifier without using EILLocation Builder?
Thank you so much.

To get the RSSI, use the ESTBeaconManager's ranging instead. Here’s a tutorial:

(It doesn’t cover RSSI, but once you have everything up-and-running, the RSSI is just an extra property on the CLBeacon object, an array of which you get delivered to your didRangeBeacons delegate.)

And for ready-made code that shows how to detect the nearest beacon, check out our Proximity Content app template:
