didExitRegion and didEnterRegion not being called

[toptierlabs]

I don't know why didExitRegion and didEnterRegion aren't being called, my code is the following:

I've this in the didFinishLaunchingWithOptions of the AppDelagate

CLLocationManager *locationManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init];
locationManager.delegate = self;

for (CLRegion *r in locationManager.monitoredRegions) {
    [locationManager stopMonitoringForRegion:r];
}

self.beaconManager = [[ESTBeaconManager alloc] init];
self.beaconManager.delegate = self;

NSUUID *uuid = [[NSUUID alloc] initWithUUIDString:@"B9407F30-F5F8-466E-AFF9-25556B57FE6D"];

self.beaconRegion = [[ESTBeaconRegion alloc] initWithProximityUUID:uuid
                                                        identifier:@"MyApp"];
self.beaconRegion.notifyOnEntry = YES;
self.beaconRegion.notifyOnExit = YES;
self.beaconRegion.notifyEntryStateOnDisplay = YES;

[self.beaconManager startMonitoringForRegion:self.beaconRegion];

Also i have this two methods:

• (void)beaconManager:(ESTBeaconManager )manager didEnterRegion:(ESTBeaconRegion )region { NSLog(@"Enter region notification"); }
• (void)beaconManager:(ESTBeaconManager )manager didExitRegion:(ESTBeaconRegion )region { NSLog(@"Exit region notification"); }

I add this delegate to the AppDelegate: ESTBeaconManagerDelegate

and this:

@property (nonatomic, strong) ESTBeaconManager beaconManager; @property (nonatomic, strong) ESTBeaconRegion beaconRegion;

I tried with this but didn't fix it:

CLLocationManager *locationManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init];
locationManager.delegate = self;

for (CLRegion *r in locationManager.monitoredRegions) {
    [locationManager stopMonitoringForRegion:r];
}

Thanks!!

Hi! Please make sure first you have Background App Refresh enable on your iPhone. Also, if you are buiding the app using iOS8 SDK, you have to call "requestAlwaysAuthorization" on beaconManager.

Hi! I had enable the Background App Refresh but I didn't call "requestAlwaysAuthorization". I have tried calling the "requestAlwaysAuthorization" but this didn't fix my problem:

self.beaconManager = [[ESTBeaconManager alloc] init];
self.beaconManager.delegate = self;

[self.beaconManager requestAlwaysAuthorization];

NSUUID *uuid = [[NSUUID alloc] initWithUUIDString:@"B9407F30-F5F8-466E-AFF9-25556B57FE6D"];

self.beaconRegion = [[ESTBeaconRegion alloc] initWithProximityUUID:uuid
                                                        identifier:@"MyApp"];

self.beaconRegion.notifyOnEntry = YES;
self.beaconRegion.notifyOnExit = YES;
self.beaconRegion.notifyEntryStateOnDisplay = YES;

[self.beaconManager startMonitoringForRegion:self.beaconRegion];

Any idea? Thanks!!

I could fix it, I had to add this to my .plist file:

NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription This application monitors your location to show you promotional offers in shops you're passing by.

Thanks!

This is not very clear from the getting started documentation, and since that triggers no error, it can take some time to figure out.
