## What it is
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
