iOS 10 ESTBeaconConnection - CoreBluetooth XPC Error

[gnazarkin]

Problem started with #233 on iOS 10 and that error was resolved, but now when calling ESTBeaconConnection *connection = [ESTBeaconConnection connectionWithProximityUUID:uuid major:major minor:minor delegate:self]; it throws... [CoreBluetooth] XPC connection invalid and doesn't connect to beacon

@ferologics Any updates on this? Something similar mentioned on the forums when monitoring. https://forums.estimote.com/t/swift-3-xcode-8-xpc-connection-invalid-issue/4822/9

@gnazarkin did you try acorsi's solution?

[gnazarkin]

@ferologics Yes I tried it and didn't help

[ferologics]

@gnazarkin do you have network, location and blue-tooth access enabled as well?

[gnazarkin]

@ferologics Yes

Maybe useful from the apple developer forum. Here the problem was caused, because CBPeripheralManager was not an instance variable and so CoreBluetooth was not able to initialise successfully.

@gnazarkin did iOS 10.2 update change behaviour of the error in any way? Were you successful in resolving the problem?

[gnazarkin]

@ferologics I'll give it a try as soon as I can as I still need to resolve the issue myself. Swamped with another project right now

I kept getting getting the "[corebluetooth] xpc connection invalid" error when trying to connect to beacons using the ESTDeviceManager with iOS 10. Connections worked fine with iOS 9 but with 10 it always timed out. I resolved the issue by adding "Privacy - Location When In Use Usage Description" permission to the plist file. @ferologics @gnazarkin

@aj-bartocci @ferologics @gnazarkin i have that in the .plist "Privacy - Location When In Use Usage Description" for iOS 10. The in app beacon ranging is still faulty.

[aj-bartocci]

That's strange, I have a separate app that ranges beacons and I haven't had any issues as of yet running on iOS 10. Although for that app I request the Always Usage @shattars3d

@aj-bartocci Are you using the Estimote framework in your personal project? Or are you using the example Estimote project?

[aj-bartocci]

I'm using the framework in my own project @shattars3d
