Abstract
This chapter introduces iBeacon technology and will show you how to use the Core Location framework to interact with beacons. You’ll learn how to establish a region around an object, determine when a region has been entered or exited, and estimate your proximity to a beacon. You’ll also learn how to configure your iOS device to act as an iBeacon transmitter.
