Does AirLocate only look for particular UUIDs?

Question

I've been testing some iBeacons -- hen I set the UUID of the beacon to something other than the default it isn't picked up by AirLocate.

Is AirLocate only looking for particular beacon UUIDs or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks!

Answer 1

AirLocate works differently depending on whether you are ranging or monitoring. When you are monitoring, you can choose from any one of eight built-in ProximityUUIDs to monitor, and you can optionally also choose to monitor based on a major and minor identifier. While you can manually edit one of the built-in ProximityUUIDs, changing one only affects the currently monitored region -- it doesn't modify the list of the eight built-in identifiers.

The eight built-in ProximityUUIDS are:

E2C56DB5-DFFB-48D2-B060-D0F5A71096E0
5A4BCFCE-174E-4BAC-A814-092E77F6B7E5

552452fe-f374-47c4-bfad-9ea4165e1bd9

When ranging, AirLocate looks for any iBeacon with any of the above eight built-in ProximityUUIDs simultaneously. There is no way to manually choose a smaller list to range with, nor is there any way to manually edit the UUIDs. It is also not possible to set a major or minor for filtering the iBeacons that are ranged.

If you want to use AirLocate to range for an iBeacon whose ProximityUUID is not in this list, you must modify the source code to add your own ProximityUUID.
