Core Bluetooth act as Beacon

Question

A device with iBeacon technology,can be used to establish a region around an object. This allows an iOS device to determine when it has entered or left the region.(Example - whenever we come across a beacon device, it estimated the distance(range)of device and gives a notification to the devices ). So is that possible to use core bluetooth do the same functionality?

Answer 1

You could implement your own iBeacon-like functionality in your app, but you could not duplicate the OS level support. It would be a lot of work, but it's possible.

HOWEVER...

With iBeacons the location manager takes care of beacon notifications for you, and will notify your app about enter/exit beacon regions even if your app is suspended or not running at the time. Third party apps can't do that. Period.
