Is AltBeacon suitable for all three platforms (iOS, Android, Windows Phone)? #19

Will this allow a flavour of beacon to be broadcast from iOS as well as Windows phone and Android? Although I see the Windows and Android libraries, is an iOS library under development?

As a developer, I want all three phone platforms to be capable of broadcasting a beacon so that I can use a Raspberry Pi to detect them - so if Apple are playing up with the iBeacon spec, I'd be happy to move to this spec if it supports all three platforms.

Will AltBeacon do this, also be adding an iOS library? I'd also like it to work using Xamarin on all three libraries, so will a Nuget package be created for Xamarin Forms?

*\ If someone creates three C Sharp libraries (one for each platform), with an example of each, I'd be happy to help by taking those and creating a Nuget package for Xamarin Forms

The https://github.com/AltBeacon/spec specification probably is suitable, so it may depend on the availability of software libraries/applications. I think this issue can be closed.
