I have a list of items in a collectionview. I assigned beacons UUID, major and minor to do different items in the collectionview. I am able to set the beacon region and call the action to start monitoring for the beacons but they are never detected. I have used the Estimote app to make sure the beacons were detectable and they are but they are not being recognized in my implementation. Could you assist?
`self.beaconManager.delegate = self
let beaconRegion = CLBeaconRegion(proximityUUID: NSUUID(UUIDString: "(beacon.UUID!)")!, major: beacon.Major, minor: beacon.Minor, identifier: "my beacons")
print(beaconRegion)
print("Looking for beacon")
//Set whether the beacon sends a notification when you enter or exit the beacon range
beaconRegion.notifyOnEntry = true
beaconRegion.notifyOnExit = true
beaconRegion.notifyEntryStateOnDisplay = true
// 4. We need to request this authorization for every beacon manager
self.beaconManager.requestAlwaysAuthorization()
self.beaconManager.startMonitoringForRegion(beaconRegion)
//force ios to check for the state of the beacon range
self.beaconManager.requestStateForRegion(beaconRegion)
`
` //func for when the person enters the range of a beacon
func beaconManager(manager: AnyObject, didEnterRegion region: CLBeaconRegion) {
let notification = UILocalNotification()
let beacon = events.Beacons as! Beacons
//Check Beacon table to see if the user has been checked in or not
if !beacon.Flokkers.contains(User.currentUser()!.objectId!) {
//if user has not been checked in display the beacons message to the user and check the user in
notification.alertBody = beacon.Message!
let newCheckIn = CheckIn(event: events, user: User.currentUser()!, beacon: beacon, time: NSDate(), numberOfCheckIns: beacon.Flokkers.count)
newCheckIn.saveInBackground()
beacon.checkIn(User.currentUser()!.objectId!)
UIApplication.sharedApplication().presentLocalNotificationNow(notification)
} else{
}
}
func beaconManager(manager: AnyObject!, didExitRegion region: CLBeaconRegion!) {
let notification = UILocalNotification()
//tell the user goodbye once they leave the beacon region
notification.alertBody = "Goodbye"
print("bye")
UIApplication.sharedApplication().presentLocalNotificationNow(notification)
}`
