How to receive beacons broadcasting data in app?

CoreLocation framework

CLBeaconRegion

What is CLBeaconRegion?-A region containing similar beacons

-To get the similar beacons we need to define a region

Form a beacon region with the UUID of beacon

Each Beacon manufacturing company has unique UUID.//**CLBeaconRegion *region= [[CLBeaconRegion alloc] initWithProximityUUID:@“FDA50693-A4E2-4FB1-AFCF-C6EB07647825”

identifier:@“your Own identifier”];**//

Start Ranging the beacon in region

Start Ranging BeaconsinRegion

Start Ranging BeaconsinRegion

Beacons will be available for that particular region with proximity.(proximity means range:immediate,Near,Far,Unknown)Based on the proximity perform actions

-//** (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager*)manager didRangeBeacons:(NSArray *)beacons inRegion:(CLBeaconRegion *)region-//**
