Turn your Mac as an iBeacon

beaconemitter's Issues

Auto broadcast/start

Thanks again for a great app!

I think the last requirement I'd really need from this is for it to auto start for me. I think this would consist of two parts:

1. Start broadcasting when the app starts. This is probably the most important because although I'm sure mac has ways of starting arbitrary apps automatically, once this particular app opens it still needs manual intervention to start broadcasting.
2. Run the app on boot/startup. It would still be handy though if there was an option in the app that you could enable that would take care of whatever setup necessary to have it start on its own.

Let me know if this all makes sense! Happy to split this into two separate issues if you think that would make more sense.

Mojave killed the beacons

Seems macOS Mojave killed again this possibility :S

Compiled app

Would you be able to include the compiled binary?

TestFlight "not available in your country or region"

Trying to set this up on a new computer, but after I click on the app store link I get this error:

This app is currently not available in your country or region.

Maybe I'm not remembering how to open this in TestFlight?

Doesn't resume transmitting after waking from sleep

If I turn on the beacon, close my laptop lid, then after a short while open it again, the app doesn't start broadcasting again. I assume this is because the app isn't properly handling the computer waking after having gone to sleep.

I've tried a few different iBeacon apps and they all seem to suffer from this issue. Any thoughts on how to fix this?

dyld: Library not loaded, image not found error

Hi,

Just built application on Xcode 6 beta 2. It says "build successed" but can't get it work.
This is console output, what is the workaround?

/cc @lgaches

Ibeacon sometimes can't notify me '- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didExitRegion:(CLRegion *)region'

Hello：
When I test my app，I found that '- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didExitRegion: (CLRegion *)region', this method was not executed sometimes,nearly ten percent .Do you know why is it ?
Thank you very much!!!

code signing error

Got a code signing error trying to build with xcode 6.2 beta (6C86e)

Code Sign error: No code signing identities found: No valid signing identities (i.e. certificate and private key pair) matching the team ID “6GX5VF8F6Y” were found.

"Turn iBeacon on/off" button seems to display the wrong text

The text on the button which starts/stops transmission either seems to always be wrong or get out of sync sometimes.

Happy to dig into the problem more if you'd like, but I suspect this is an easy fix.

---

Did a quick code dive and I think you just have the text reversed:

BeaconEmitter/BeaconEmitter/BeaconEmitterView.swift

Lines 45 to 47 in 923d985

	Text("Turn iBeacon on")
	} else {
	Text("Turn iBeacon off")

copy/paste

not able to paste UUID inside the uuid field
could you look into it

Yosemite support

It looks like currently app doesn't support OS X 10.10

Always says 'bluetooth is currently powered off'

I'm unable to get BeaconEmitter to work... It always says bluetooth is currently powered off.

I've tried with Bluetooth on and off in system preferences. I can see other bluetooth devices near my mac in system preferences.

Any suggestions?

Persist user's entered UUID, Major, and Minor values

After restarting the app these values seem to be reset/regenerated.

Reasoning is that for a given device, these values should not change so that the device can be properly identified by other devices.
