but when I build debug version and debug remote, it working.

Solved by waiting for the promise returned by Beacons.addIBeaconsDetection().

My code:

  async componentDidMount() {
    await Beacons.addIBeaconsDetection();
    Beacons.startMonitoringForRegion(REGION);
    Beacons.startRangingBeaconsInRegion(REGION);

    this.beaconsDidRangeEvent = Beacons.BeaconsEventEmitter.addListener(
      'beaconsDidRange',
      data => this.processBeacons(data.beacons),
    );

    this.regionDidEnterEvent = Beacons.BeaconsEventEmitter.addListener(
      'regionDidEnter',
      data => {
        console.log('didEnter', data);
      },
    );

    this.regionDidExitEvent = Beacons.BeaconsEventEmitter.addListener(
      'regionDidExit',
      data => {
        console.log('didExit', data);
      },
    );
  }

@vfaramond i have the same issue i have updated the library and same error getting when ranging start. As you can see the first log Server is connected.

Please check the log :

here is the code:

  },
);

// monitoring:
this.regionDidEnterEvent = Beacons.BeaconsEventEmitter.addListener(
  'regionDidEnter',
  ({ identifier, uuid, minor, major }) => {
    console.log('regionDidEnter: ', { identifier, uuid, minor, major });
    
  },
);

this.regionDidExitEvent = Beacons.BeaconsEventEmitter.addListener(
  'regionDidExit',
  ({ identifier, uuid, minor, major }) => {
    console.log('regionDidExit: ', { identifier, uuid, minor, major });
  },
);

startRangingAndMonitoring = async () => { const { identifier, uuid } = this.state; const region = { identifier, uuid }; // minor and major are null here

try {
  await Beacons.startRangingBeaconsInRegion(region);
  console.log('Beacons ranging started successfully');
  await Beacons.startMonitoringForRegion(region);
  console.log('Beacons monitoring started successfully');
} catch (error) {
  throw error;
}

};

Please review the code and point out if i'm doing anything wrong.

Thanks

iOS app is working fine. ios App can detect the beacons but on android i'm getting

2019-01-16 18:41:53.352 22574-24789/com.ibeaconapp D/BeaconsAndroidModule: rangingConsumer didRangeBeaconsInRegion, region: id1: fda50693-a4e2-4fb1-afcf-c6eb07647825 id2: null id3: null 2019-01-16 18:41:53.358 22574-22628/com.ibeaconapp I/ReactNativeJS: 'BEACONS: ', { beacons: [], uuid: 'fda50693-a4e2-4fb1-afcf-c6eb07647825', identifier: 'welcore BLE' }

And i'm new to React native this is my first app :)

@MacKentoch iOS is working fine, in Android, there are two cases:

1. The BeaconManager is not bound to the service. Call beaconManager.bind(BeaconConsumer consumer) and wait for a callback to onBeaconServiceConnect()

2. Sometimes the service gets started but then the application crashes.
