URL notification

BLE Beacons
1

Hi,

I’m a beginner on Estimote.
I’d like to develop an app in Swift for IOS to receive Eddystone URL and create a notification with the URL.
I checked on IOS with Physical Web app. I can see the URL sent by my Estimote device so I think the configuration is OK.

I have notification app provided in the sample. I tested, it’s working well but Now I want to see the URL in the notification. How to have URL information to display in the notification ?
Thank you,

This example on the Eddystone GitHub might come in handy:

I think you’d need to hook your notification code into here:

https://github.com/google/eddystone/blob/master/tools/ios-eddystone-scanner-sample/EddystoneScannerSampleSwift/ViewController.swift#L39

i.e., the didObserveURLBeacon method.

You’d also probably need to code is so that it only shows the notification once, not on every detection of the beacon.

Thank you for you answer. I in fact used attributes instead of Eddystone. It’s allowed me to display more information in the notification.

I have few more issues :

  • I used the sample for notification. Working well on iPhone but the app must be opened to receive notifications. I understood the app will be blocked maybe by Apple but do you have a sample to receive notifications without keeping the app opened ?

  • For some Android devices. I’m receiving many times the connect and disconnect messages during 10s. How to solve this ?
