HiBeacons is a Swift 3 demo application for iOS 10 demonstrating the iBeacons API, including beacon region monitoring, advertising, and ranging. It includes an accompanying Apple Watch (watchOS 3) app that acts as a simple remote control for the beacon operations.

Use cases

  • demo iBeacon monitoring, advertising, and ranging on iOS
  • learn how the iOS iBeacons API works in Swift
  • test beacon region monitoring with background notifications
  • turn an iPhone into an iBeacon advertiser
  • control beacon operations remotely from an Apple Watch
  • use as a starting codebase for building beacon-enabled iOS apps

When to choose

  • you need a simple, well-documented example of the iBeacons API in Swift
  • you want to experiment with beacon monitoring, ranging, and advertising on iOS
  • you want a Watch app companion to toggle beacon operations

When to avoid

  • you need production beacon support for modern iOS versions (targets iOS 10 / Swift 3)
  • you need to monitor or range multiple beacon regions simultaneously
  • you need the Watch app to work fully in the background
