If so, please share your success information. Title Comments Has anyone successfully added the SDK for iBeacon implemention from any product manufacturer into a BT app?

However, although I 'did' implement the BluVision SDK 'at first', I decided to go with the iBeacon Spec, which is manufacturer independent; any beacon works, as long as it adheres to iBeacon specs. However, you might want to keep an eye on the new 'Eddystone' standard that was just released. It is similar to 'iBeacon' but improves upon it as well as includes Android. Did you have anything in specific you wanted to know? Happy to oblige, as long as you don't move to Guam and try and take over my market ;) Cheers! -- Smug There was a short discussion on my project here: https://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=B3B4C1B5EF31C5B4F71E1B8&fid=0B19EC7C02CBDD92F12FD08&sortColumn=FT.id&sortUpDown=DESC&currentPage=1 Comments I recently obtained a BluVision Dealership; I am using their beacons in a project I'm currently working on.

We build our apps in Seattle Clouds and can export them into Xcode to add SDKs but, not being programmers, that's an alien planet for us. Looking at BT (we have a server installed) as a possible alternative, but still need the SDK stuck into it somehow. Was looking for someone that has gone down that road.

Drop it into your project, and provide the right header reference in your own classes. The Bluvision SDK worked great, I just didn't really need it.

I am looking at introducing into a solution we are working on at the moment. Why don't you host a webinar sometime? Kristen Comments Hey Smug Interested to hear more about your ibeacon work.
