Is it possible to find out ibeacon list automatically with this plugin?

Hi @sirius2013 iOS doesn't allow that behaviour through the CoreLocation library, but it is possible on Android when I loosen up the UUID validation. We're not planning to adding CoreBluetooth monitoring which could do this in principle.

Hi thanks for your reply.
I saw this article and video also.
http://beekn.net/2013/11/ibeacon-phonegap-and-sencha-touch/
it shows that is possible on ios also, but I didn't get example source for this video.
Do u know anything for this?
Thanks

That example uses the Estimote SDK which would have to use CoreBluetooth at least to some extent. We have an enhancement for AltBeacons on our TODO list which would necessitate the use of CoreBluetooth support on the iOS side, so as part of that we may be able to get at least monitoring working on iOS for any beacon. Still not sure when either Peter or I will get time to do this as where both really busy on other work.

okay, so at this point, is there any working example to detect iBeacon list for me?
iOS version or Android version is okay for now.
Thanks

No, but it would just need a small edit to the validation code in javascript and the same in the Android code to make it work for you. I don't have time to look at the code today, but I will attempt so relax those roles on the master branch later this week, so it can work for you at least on Android.

Opened up #151 as the followup of this one.
