EddyStone SDK and support for ios (iPhone)

Hi,

Since I want to start to develop an Eddystone beacon and found the Github nrf5-sdk-for-eddystone. I am wondering if the Eddystone beacon is detectable by an iPhone?

I already noticed that it is not configurable from an iPhone and that you need an Android phone for doing that. (because of the following sentences: Install the nRF Beacon for Eddystone Android App from Play Store. Follow the instructions on how to use the App.)

I am also curious about other information regarding development of Eddystone + nRF SDK and the iPhone.

Thank you in advance

  • @ Maverick: If you write your own app on iOS you should be able to do scanning for Eddystone beacon and also can connect and do configuration when you switch to configuration mode. The nRF Beacon app on iOS should be able to do configuration. It won't detect Eddystone as a beacon though.

    iPhone won't detect the Eddystone as a beacon device, but as normal BLE broadcasting device.
