Version

"react": "16.4.1", "react-native": "0.56.0", "react-native-beacons-manager": "^1.0.7"

Platform

iOS | Android

Steps to reproduce

1. fresh new app with react-native init
2. install package
3. in componentDidMount:

if (Platform.OS == 'ios') {
      Beacons.requestAlwaysAuthorization();

      Beacons.startMonitoringForRegion(region)
        .then(() => console.log('Beacons monitoring started succesfully'))
        .catch(error => console.log(`Beacons monitoring not started, error: ${error}`));
        
      Beacons.startUpdatingLocation();

      // Monitoring: Listen for device entering the defined region
      this.regionDidEnterEvent = Beacons.BeaconsEventEmitter.addListener(
        'regionDidEnter',
        (data) => {
          console.log('monitoring - regionDidEnter data: ', data);
          const time = moment().format(TIME_FORMAT);
          this.setState({ regionEnterDatasource: this.state.rangingDataSource.cloneWithRows([{ identifier:data.identifier, uuid:data.uuid, minor:data.minor, major:data.major, time }]) });
        }
      );

      // Monitoring: Listen for device leaving the defined region
      this.regionDidExitEvent = Beacons.BeaconsEventEmitter.addListener(
        'regionDidExit',
        ({ identifier, uuid, minor, major }) => {
          console.log('monitoring - regionDidExit data: ', { identifier, uuid, minor, major });
          const time = moment().format(TIME_FORMAT);
          this.setState({ regionExitDatasource: this.state.rangingDataSource.cloneWithRows([{ identifier, uuid, minor, major, time }]) });
        }
      );
        
    } 

What is happening

An Error shows running on device (and emulator for that matter): TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating '_reactNativeBeaconsManager.default.BeaconsEventEmitter.addListener')

While Beacons.BeaconsEventEmitter is present in the examples shown here, should I use DeviceEventEmitter instead?

Yes you should use DeviceEventEmitter. Got same issue, resolved by replacing Beacons.BeaconsEventEmitter.addListener with DeviceEventEmitter.addListener.

Beacons.BeaconsEventEmitter.addListener only works on 1.1.0 version. See #103 to install 1.1.0 version from master

@daominhsangvn @RajaSaravanan DeviceEventEmitter.addListener is not working in android, could you please help me?

You can use DeviceEventEmitter.addListener instead of Beacons.BeaconsEventEmitter.addListener
