iOS Question [CLOSED] Get the Beacon Transmit Power

[Jmu5667]

Hello

Based on this :

For Each Beacon As NativeObject In Beacons
        Dim UUID As String = Beacon.GetField("proximityUUID").AsString
        Dim Major As Int = Beacon.GetField("major").AsNumber
        Dim Minor As Int = Beacon.GetField("minor").AsNumber
        Dim proximity As Int = Beacon.GetField("proximity").AsNumber '0 = unknown, 1 = immediate, 2 = near, 3 = far
        Dim rssi As Int = Beacon.GetField("rssi").AsNumber
        Dim beaconName As String = clsBeacons.get_asset_name(Major & Minor)
   
 Next

What is the field name that hold the transmit power, I need this to calc the distance from the beacon. I have a iOS app called Dartie and it show the distance from the beacons it has scanned.

Regards

John.

Check the beacon parser class

[IoT] BeaconParser - Discover iBeacons and Eddystone beacons

The BeaconParser class parses the advertising data that is sent by BLE beacons. It supports iBeacons, Eddystone UID and Eddystone URL formats. Note that this class is also compatible with B4i. However it will not detect iBeacons due to the way those beacons are handled in iOS. You do not need...

Thanks for the response, I installed the example and it crash's on iPhone 7 ios13.x. I am using the background scanning for beacons and use the LocManager_DidRangeBeacons to get a list of beacons. It would be great if there was a list of all the fields available in the beacon nativeobject or indeed get the advertising data then I could use the beacon parser class.

Information about an observed iBeacon device and its relative distance to a person’s device.

These are the available fields

The BeaconParser class will not detect iBeacons in iOS as they are treated differently.

What is the field name that hold the transmit power,

There is no such field.
