IOS Plugin not working...

[dhbismuth]

Hello,

First of all many thanks for your plugin, it works fantastic with Android ! However we are experiencing some problems with the IOS part...

Below the log error :

We already tried the solutions evoked in issue #123 (https://github.com/petermetz/cordova-plugin-ibeacon/issues/123) with no success...

We would really appreciate your help ! Feel free to ask me any complementary information necessary for finding the solution.

Best regards,

did you maybe forget to ask for permission? // required in iOS 8+ cordova.plugins.locationManager.requestWhenInUseAuthorization(); cordova.plugins.locationManager.requestAlwaysAuthorization();

[dhbismuth]

Hi, thanks for your answer. As a matter of fact we did ask for permission. Anyone who had similar problem, could help ? I don't know if this is a known issue for IOS, so maybe we did something wrong ?

[salilsethi]

+1 We have the same issue. @dhbismuth - how did you resolve this?

[cvoisey]

Anyone been able to solve this?

[0x1ad2]

We also have the same issue, on Android everything works like a charm setup 3 regions all get monitored but on iOS it will only monitor the first region.

@dhbismuth did you managed to fix this?

[0x1ad2]

Is there a fix available anywhere? We've tried to contact @petermetz but without any result, is someone willing and able to fix this? We even could arrange a pay, we need it asap.

I was wrong about monitoring 1 beacon on iOS, monitoring doesn't work at all. I've the feeling the whole plugin doesn't work for iOS.

I face a similar issue with the monitoring function on iOS. I managed to get the event "didStartMonitoring" fired with the correct BeaconRegion, but that's it. The beacon is literally on the iDevice screen and it is not detected. I do not manage to get the events "didEnterRegion", "didExitRegion" or "didRangeBeaconsInRegion" fired. UUID is good, and other apps can successfully detect it.

[0x1ad2]

@nikkow I managed to fix it! I'm trying to setup a repo with a basic Ionic project that detects beacons but in the meantime I'll could give you this, this is the code I've used

/*
 * If the device is ready
 */
document.addEventListener("deviceready", function () {

    /*
     * Set default beacon info
     */
    $rootScope.beacon = {
        identifier: 'Default Ionic Beacon',
        uuid: '927df354-116b-49e6-a264-989aa92200ee',
        major: 1,
        minor: 2,
    };

    /*
     * Setup the beacon region
     */
    var beaconRegion = new cordova.plugins.locationManager.BeaconRegion($rootScope.beacon.identifier, $rootScope.beacon.uuid, $rootScope.beacon.major, $rootScope.beacon.minor);
    $rootScope.monitoredRegions = {};

    /*
     * Request iBeacon permissions
     * For iOS 8 or higher
     */
    cordova.plugins.locationManager.requestAlwaysAuthorization();

    /*
     * Delegate the events
     */
    var delegate = new cordova.plugins.locationManager.Delegate();

    /*
     * On region enter
     */
    delegate.didEnterRegion = function (pluginResult){
        $rootScope.monitoredRegions[pluginResult.region.uuid] = pluginResult.region;
        $rootScope.$apply();
    }

    /*
     * On region exit
     */
    delegate.didExitRegion = function (pluginResult){
        $rootScope.monitoredRegions = {};
        $rootScope.$apply();
    }

    cordova.plugins.locationManager.setDelegate(delegate);
    cordova.plugins.locationManager.startMonitoringForRegion(beaconRegion);
});

Be sure to tick the checkboxes Location updates, Remote notifications and Uses bluetooth LE accessories in the Xcode project capabilities screen.

Here's the ionic project: https://github.com/0x1ad2/IonicBeacons

Hi guys, I'm still not able to get the readings from beacons on iOS, on android it works fine got Location updates, Remote notifications and Uses bluetooth LE accessories turned on here is the code:

$rootScope.$on('enableBeaconDetect', function (event, data) {
            console.log('enableBeaconDetect Controller');
            cordova.plugins.locationManager.requestWhenInUseAuthorization();

            delegate = new cordova.plugins.locationManager.Delegate();
            delegate.didDetermineStateForRegion = function (pluginResult) {

                console.log('[DOM] didDetermineStateForRegion: ' + JSON.stringify(pluginResult));

                cordova.plugins.locationManager.appendToDeviceLog('[DOM] didDetermineStateForRegion: '
                    + JSON.stringify(pluginResult));
            };

            delegate.didStartMonitoringForRegion = function (pluginResult) {
                console.log('didStartMonitoringForRegion:' + JSON.stringify(pluginResult));
            };

            delegate.didRangeBeaconsInRegion = function (pluginResult) {
                console.log('[DOM] didRangeBeaconsInRegion: ' + JSON.stringify(pluginResult));

                if (pluginResult.beacons.length > 0) {
                    if (pluginResult.beacons[0].rssi > -45) {
                        cordova.plugins.locationManager.stopRangingBeaconsInRegion(beaconRegion);
                        console.log("BEACON FOUND");
                        $rootScope.$broadcast('beaconValidationOk');
                    }
                }
            };
           /*
            * On region enter
            */
           delegate.didEnterRegion = function (pluginResult){
          console.log('[DOM] didEnterRegion: ' + JSON.stringify(pluginResult));
           }

           /*
            * On region exit
            */
           delegate.didExitRegion = function (pluginResult){
          console.log('[DOM] didExitRegion: ' + JSON.stringify(pluginResult));
           }

            var uuid = data.uuid;
            var identifier = 'iBeacon';
            var minor =  data.minor;
            var major = data.major
            beaconRegion = new cordova.plugins.locationManager.BeaconRegion(identifier, uuid, major, minor);

            cordova.plugins.locationManager.setDelegate(delegate);

            // required in iOS 8+
            //cordova.plugins.locationManager.requestWhenInUseAuthorization();
            // or cordova.plugins.locationManager.requestAlwaysAuthorization()


            cordova.plugins.locationManager.startRangingBeaconsInRegion(beaconRegion)
                .fail(function (e) {
                    console.error(e);
                })
                .done();

           cordova.plugins.locationManager.startMonitoringForRegion(beaconRegion)
               .fail(function (e) {
                     console.error(e);
               })
            .done();

        });

[asafper]

Hi did you manage to resolve this ?

[0x1ad2]

@asafper yes I did, use my code above.

Be sure to tick the checkboxes Location updates, Remote notifications and Uses bluetooth LE accessories in the Xcode project capabilities screen.

[carlo318]

At first I didn't find those Capabilities options in XCode. It could be useful to someone this detailed info on where they are:

• Capabilities
  • Background Modes
    • Location updates
    • Remote notifications
    • Uses bluetooth LE accessories
