Estimote iOS SDK : Eddystone beacon format `didDiscoverEddystones` return empty array and not able to discover beacons in range

Question

After successfully detecting iBeacons from the Esimote SDK, I started working with Eddystone beacons in the same SDK with help of

<EstimoteSDK/ESTEddystone.h>

I provided namespace id in ESTEddystoneFilterUID object as below and then started discovering beacons from startEddystoneDiscoveryWithFilter method.

ESTEddystoneUID *eddystoneUID = [[ESTEddystoneUID alloc] initWithNamespaceID:@"0x2f234454f4911ba9ffa6" instanceID:@"1"];
self.uidFilter = [[ESTEddystoneFilterUID alloc] initWithUID:eddystoneUID];

[self.eddystoneManager startEddystoneDiscoveryWithFilter:self.uidFilter];

Later I came to the delegate eddystoneManager:didDiscoverEddystones:withFilter , with empty eddystones array.

Is there any thing missing? Can anyone please help to get UUID/Name space of beacon in range.

Answer 1

You should skip the 0x part in your Namespace ID, Estimote SDK already expects a hex-encoded string. (i.e., you should use 2f234454f4911ba9ffa6)
