cannot detect beacons

[John]

Hi, I programmed my nrf51dk with ble_app_beacon and I see a blink every two seconds on the board's led. I started the nrf Beacon app in my iphone 6. I first added a beacon according to the default major and minor values. UUID is the default one. The app just showed "beacon not found" all the time. What did I do wrong?

Use the master dongle to sniff the advertisement packet. Confirm the manufacturer identifier is 0x0045 or (0x4C, 0x00). If you are not using the config button and automatic detection, confirm the values in the app are exact.

I have been able to get it to work after fixing these things.

Hi John, it's correct that if you want the iOS device to detect your device you now need manufacturer id = 0x004C. However this is not applied for Android or Windows phone.
