nRF51822 Bluetooth Smart Beacon Kit "Beacon not found" in Beacons mode with iOS 8.1

[smcho]

I could scan/detect Beacons, and I could update the configuration without any problem with the nRF Beacons app. The issue is that the configured Beacons are not detected in Beacons mode.

The log message in Xcode is as follows:

2014-11-20 20:30:19.533 nRFBeacons[3375:1063248] didRangeBeacons
2014-11-20 20:30:19.534 nRFBeacons[3375:1063248] No beacon found!

It's weird as I think there should be no connection problem as I can update the configuration of the Beacon. I checked that the Privacy -> Location service is on for the nRF Beacons.

What might be wrong?

Starting from Yosemite and iOS 8, Apple does not allow apps to scan for iBeacons. CoreLocation (CoreBluetooth / IOBluetooth) needs to know the UUID. If you don't know specific UUID you will not be able to "see" the iBeacons around you.

Generic beacons are not recognized by iOS/OS X OS as iBeacons.

Your beacons must be iBeacon MFI compliant (you need to obtain Apple iBeacon certification).
