ios nrf beacon cannot identify my beacons

I programmed my beacons with ble_app_beacon (nordic firmware). android can locate my beacons without any problems. I installed nrf connect app, it can find them too. but when I use nrf nrf beacons app , I click on add other beacons, I enter uuid major and minor, but as soon as I press save application says: beacon not found. what is going on? why cant I located my beacons with nrf beacons?

    In the IOS nRF Beacon app, add beacon by pressing the "+" and then select " Add Another Beacon". You need to select the UUID as 0x0112233445566778899aabbccddeeff0, major value 0x0102 (258) and minor value 0x0304 (772). These are the default [UUID, major value, minor value] settings in the ble_app_beacon app, at least in nRF5 SDK 12.0.0.

    Additionally you need to set the APP_COMPANY_IDENTIFIER constant in the ble_app_beacon application to 0x004C, which is the Apple Vendor ID. Then the beacon should be detected by the nRF Beacons IOS app.
