Seem stopRangingBeaconsInRegion stop monitoring

[KevinJue]

Problem/Question

The function stopRangingBeaconsInRegion seem to stop monitoring for a region. We can find in apple documentation

stopRangingBeaconsInRegion: Stops the delivery of notifications for the specified beacon region.

did you think it could also stop notification for monitoring or i'm doing something wrong ? this bellow code will let you reproduce.

-(void)setupEstimote {

    self.beaconManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init];
    self.beaconManager.delegate = self;
    [self.beaconManager requestAlwaysAuthorization];
    [self.beaconManager startUpdatingLocation];

    // Setup a new region with that UUID and same identifier as the broadcasting beacon
    self.beaconRegion = [[CLBeaconRegion alloc] initWithProximityUUID:uuid identifier:@"test"];
    self.beaconRegion.notifyEntryStateOnDisplay = YES;
    self.beaconRegion.notifyOnEntry = YES;
    self.beaconRegion.notifyOnExit = YES;

    [self.beaconManager startMonitoringForRegion:self.beaconRegion];
}

- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didStartMonitoringForRegion:(CLRegion *)region {
    NSLog(@"didStartMonitoringForRegion");
    [self.beaconManager startRangingBeaconsInRegion:self.beaconRegion];
}

- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didEnterRegion:(CLRegion *)region {
    NSLog(@"enter Region");
    [self.beaconManager startRangingBeaconsInRegion:self.beaconRegion];
}

-(void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didExitRegion:(CLRegion *)region {
    NSLog(@"Left Region");
    [self.beaconManager stopRangingBeaconsInRegion:self.beaconRegion];
}

-(void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didRangeBeacons:(NSArray *)beacons inRegion:(CLBeaconRegion *)region {
    CLBeacon *beacon = [[CLBeacon alloc] init];
    beacon = [beacons lastObject];

    if (beacon.proximity == CLProximityImmediate) {
        NSLog(@"oh yeah i'm here");
        [self beaconNotification];
    } else {
        [self.beaconManager stopRangingBeaconsInRegion:self.beaconRegion];
    }
}

I see you're using Apple's Core Location API. This is an issues tracker for the Estimote SDK, so allow me to close this one. Can you post your problem on Estimote forums instead?

[KevinJue]

of course i can.

Just to know, if i'm using ESTBeaconManager instead of CLLocationManager, this issue will be fixed ?
