Introduction

The KC SIBeacon library provides a powerful and easy-to-use solution for integrating iBeacon technology into your iOS applications. With a range of features and a simple API, developers can quickly implement beacon functionality and take advantage of the proximity-based experiences.

Key Features

• Seamless integration of iBeacon technology into iOS applications.
• Retrieve beacon proximity information including proximity UUID, major, minor, and distance.
• Monitor and range beacons for real-time updates.
• Support for background monitoring.
• Trigger actions based on beacon proximity.
• Customizable beacon regions.

Installation

To install the KC SIBeacon library, follow these steps:

1. Open your project in Xcode.
2. Navigate to the target settings for your project.
3. Select “Build Phases”.
4. Expand “Link Binary With Libraries”.
5. Click the “+” button to add a new library.
6. Search for “KC SIBeacon” and select it from the list.
7. Click “Add” to add the library to your project.
8. Ensure that the library is properly linked and ready for use.

Getting Started

To begin using the KC SIBeacon library in your application, follow these steps:

1. Import the KC SIBeacon framework into your project.
2. Initialize the KC SIBeacon manager in your app delegate.

import KCSIBeacon

func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
    KCSIBeaconManager.shared.startMonitoring()
    return true
}

3. Implement the delegate methods to handle beacon monitoring and ranging events.

extension YourViewController: KCSIBeaconDelegate {
    func didEnterRegion(_ region: KCSIBeaconRegion) {
        // Handle beacon region enter event
    }
    
    func didExitRegion(_ region: KCSIBeaconRegion) {
        // Handle beacon region exit event
    }
    
    func didRangeBeacons(_ beacons: [KCSIBeacon]) {
        // Handle ranged beacons
    }
}

4. Start monitoring and ranging beacon regions.

KCSIBeaconManager.shared.delegate = self

let beaconRegion = KCSIBeaconRegion(uuid: "YOUR_UUID", identifier: "YourRegionIdentifier")
KCSIBeaconManager.shared.startMonitoring(forRegion: beaconRegion)

API Documentation

The KC SIBeacon library provides the following methods and API:

KCSIBeaconManager

Class Methods:

• shared: Returns the shared instance of the KCSIBeaconManager.

Instance Methods:

• startMonitoring(): Starts beacon monitoring for the predefined regions.
• startMonitoring(forRegion region: KCSIBeaconRegion): Starts monitoring for a specific beacon region.
• stopMonitoring(forRegion region: KCSIBeaconRegion): Stops monitoring for a specific beacon region.
• startRanging(forRegion region: KCSIBeaconRegion): Starts ranging for a specific beacon region.
• stopRanging(forRegion region: KCSIBeaconRegion): Stops ranging for a specific beacon region.

KCSIBeaconRegion

Properties:

• uuid: The proximity UUID of the beacon region.
• identifier: The identifier of the beacon region.

KCSIBeacon

Properties:

• proximityUUID: The proximity UUID of the beacon.
• major: The major value of the beacon.
• minor: The minor value of the beacon.
• rssi: The received signal strength indicator (RSSI) of the beacon.

Examples

The following examples showcase the usage of the KC SIBeacon library:

Monitoring Beacon Region

let beaconRegion = KCSIBeaconRegion(uuid: "YOUR_UUID", identifier: "YourRegionIdentifier")
KCSIBeaconManager.shared.startMonitoring(forRegion: beaconRegion)

Ranging Beacon Region

let beaconRegion = KCSIBeaconRegion(uuid: "YOUR_UUID", identifier: "YourRegionIdentifier")
KCSIBeaconManager.shared.startRanging(forRegion: beaconRegion)
