Is beacon transmission supported on android 5.0 and above ?

Is transmission as a beacon enabled also for android 5.0 and above using this library ? Any help highly appreciated.

@nilaysaha, what specifically do you mean by beacon transmission? Are you talking about having the device advertise as beacon?

Android 5 and up should be fine, but some devices have hardware that doesn't support beacon advertising. I'm not sure why, as all Bluetooth/BLE devices need to send advertisements.

Anyway, you can use the plugin to make a phone behave as an iBeacon. I have apps to prove it.

Apple will not approve apps that enable you to set arbitrary iBeacon IDs via UI (based on experience).

Note to self: add the above info to the FAQ/README somewhere.
