but when I build debug version and debug remote, it working.

Solved by waiting for the promise returned by Beacons.addIBeaconsDetection().

My code:

  async componentDidMount() {
    await Beacons.addIBeaconsDetection();
    Beacons.startMonitoringForRegion(REGION);
    Beacons.startRangingBeaconsInRegion(REGION);

    this.beaconsDidRangeEvent = Beacons.BeaconsEventEmitter.addListener(
      'beaconsDidRange',
      data => this.processBeacons(data.beacons),
    );

    this.regionDidEnterEvent = Beacons.BeaconsEventEmitter.addListener(
      'regionDidEnter',
      data => {
        console.log('didEnter', data);
      },
    );

    this.regionDidExitEvent = Beacons.BeaconsEventEmitter.addListener(
      'regionDidExit',
      data => {
        console.log('didExit', data);
      },
    );
  }

@vfaramond i have the same issue i have updated the library and same error getting when ranging start. As you can see the first log Server is connected.

Please check the log :

  },
);

// monitoring:
this.regionDidEnterEvent = Beacons.BeaconsEventEmitter.addListener(

    console.log('regionDidEnter: ', { identifier, uuid, minor, major });

  },

this.regionDidExitEvent = Beacons.BeaconsEventEmitter.addListener(

    console.log('regionDidExit: ', { identifier, uuid, minor, major });
  },
);

startRangingAndMonitoring = async () => { const { identifier, uuid } = this.state; const region = { identifier, uuid }; // minor and major are null here

try {
  await Beacons.startRangingBeaconsInRegion(region);
  console.log('Beacons ranging started successfully');
  await Beacons.startMonitoringForRegion(region);
  console.log('Beacons monitoring started successfully');
} catch (error) {
  throw error;
}

};

Please review the code and point out if i'm doing anything wrong.

Thanks

iOS app is working fine. ios App can detect the beacons but on android i'm getting

And i'm new to React native this is my first app :)

@MacKentoch iOS is working fine, in Android, there are two cases:

1. The BeaconManager is not bound to the service. Call beaconManager.bind(BeaconConsumer consumer) and wait for a callback to onBeaconServiceConnect()

2. Sometimes the service gets started but then the application crashes.
