Dead? #4

Barely compiles and breaks in Android 8&9, I assume this is dead?

We have currently stopped updating this app since we haven't seen a lot of traction lately.

May I ask why do you need this app? Are you working with beacons, or just looking for a reference code? We have other apps that we support continuously: nRF Blinky and nRF Toolbox, both of them, however, rely on scanning and connecting, not on beacon technology.

Working with an nRF52480 and was going to possibly utilize the beacon capabilities of it. The included library, even when updated to the latest utilizes foreground services in such a way as to not allow targeting current android SDK versions.
