iBeacons and RubyMotion

What are they and how do I use them? Presented at the Sydney RubyMotion Meet up, #sydinmotion.

Transcript

1. iBeacons #sydinmotion
2. What are they? Built on Bluetooth 4.0. Extremely Low Powered. Protocol designed by Apple. #sydinmotion
3. #sydinmotion
4. Emit a Beacon
5. #sydinmotion
6. UUID
7. Major UUID
8. Minor Major UUID
9. Transmitting #sydinmotion
10. #sydinmotion class BeaconViewController < UIViewController ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! end def viewDidLoad super ! ! ! ! ! ! end uuid = NSUUID.alloc.initWithUUIDString("7cbff8c6-4d84-4e8c-8703-377e03d4f69f") @region = CLBeaconRegion.alloc.initWithProximityUUID(uuid, identifier: “com.wr.reg") queue = Dispatch::Queue.main.dispatch_object @manager = CBPeripheralManager.alloc.initWithDelegate(self, queue: queue)

12. Searching #sydinmotion
13. Registering a Beacon Region Entering a Region Ranging any Beacons (proximity) Exiting the Region #sydinmotion
14. Registering a Beacon Region Entering a Region Ranging any Beacons (proximity) Exiting the Region location_manager.startMonitoringForRegion(beacon_region) locationManager(manager, didEnterRegion: region) locationManager(manager, didRangeBeacons: beacons, inRegion: region) locationManager(manager, didExitRegion: region) #sydinmotion
15. Ranging Beacons! CLProximityUnknown CLProximityFar CLProximityNear CLProximityImmediate #sydinmotion ?
16. Gotchas #sydinmotion
17. Register the Beacon Region #sydinmotion Must Launch your App Limit of 20 Beacons Persist after closure of your App (iOS 7.1)
18. Example #sydinmotion
19. Office Arrivals and Departures #sydinmotion
