New Plugin: iBeacon

Turn your app into an iBeacon and search for other iBeacons! Requires two iOS 7 devices supporting Bluetooth 4.0 using the same plugin screen. App will inform you when you get closer and closer to the other iBeacon. Features: - Turn your app/phone into a iBeacon, it will transmit a signal over bluetooth. - Turn your app/phone into a iBeacon Finder, it will find a iBeacon signal over bluetooth. - Has multiple messages to let you know when your getting closer and closer. - Will alert you when you need bluetooth enabled, for location permissions, and so on. - Simple to use, includes simple instructions when using screen (see screenshots). - Modify the code further if you want, super powerful, lots of things can be done!

David this is really awesome! Im still trying to fully understand how this works. If I am a app owner am I sending out ibeacon signals to people walking near my business as advertisements. Can you guys shed some light on some creative ways of using this?

Do I choose a location in the control panel that will send the signal?

Does this tell people if they are in the vicinity of someone who has the same app?

Screenshots suggest it can only either send a signal or listen but not both at the same time. There is a screen asking the user to choose which. So from that I take it the answer to my question is no.
