Hello,

How can we scan for a specific iBeacon using B4i CoreLocation library?

CoreLocation provides support for iBeacons as opposed to CoreBluetooth which is more general.

I'd like to be able to scan for an iBeacon for which I provide the UUID, ie

manager.Scan("f7826da6-4fa2-4e98-8024-bc5b71e0893e")

Would I be able to read, Major, Minor, RSSI, TX power level, proximity (immediate/near/far), and distance?

Thanks!

Thanks Erel! Hope we can spark some interest in these forums given the popularity of beacons these days.
