I don't get it. This is my code where I configure my LocalNotification and fired it. It works fine but there is no vibration. I think there should be a vibration when I receive a Notification?
I tried AudioServicesPlayAlertSound(kSystemSoundID_Vibrate)/ AudioServicesPlaySystemSound(kSystemSoundID_Vibrate) without no luck.

My Problem is region monitoring methods are called multiple times even if I am not moving in side the region itself. Everything else is working fine, Accuracy buffer is around 50-80 meters that is fine for me.
-(void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didEnterRegion:(CLRegion *)region
-(void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didExitRegion:(CLRegion *)region
Also if I am turning off Wi-Fi then it's calling up these methods back to back saying exit from region and enter in to region. As far as I know GPS accuracy is depends on Wi-Fi.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
a Possible workaround in the interim while the apple bug gets fixed is to rate limit the callback; thereby not acting on all the callbacks but limiting the rate at which the callbacks can get processed.
Callback execution portions that happen before the time period expires get ignored.
Here is and example code that could assist, not tested:
The rate is limited to 2 seconds.
-(void)methodRateLimit {
#synchronized(self) {
// rate limit begin
static NSDate *lastTimeExit = nil;
if (!lastTimeExit) {
lastTimeExit = [NSDate distantPast]; // way back in time
}
NSDate *now = [NSDate date];
if ([now timeIntervalSinceDate:lastTimeExit] > 2) {
// do work here
NSLog(#"Executing");
lastTimeExit = now;
} else {
NSLog(#"Limiting");
}
}
}

I am not receiving any notifications when I leave or enter a 1km range with the app backgrounded.
How do I make this work? When I log out my monitored regions, I do see the lat & lng are correct.
Two things you need to make sure you're doing.
checking for availability of region monitoring
make sure your locationManager.authorizationStatus == .authorizedAlways
Some systems simply don't support region monitoring, and region monitoring will never work unless your authorizationStatus is .authorizedAlways, only then can it monitor in the background.

I have 3 iBeacons which are placed in 3 different rooms. When I walk into each of rooms I'd like to receive a notification while my app is closed that tells me which room I'm in.

Try not to get first object from beacons array, you should enumerate it and compare which one is which, sometimes you can receive a signal from few beacons.
I made it work by calling didEnterRegion: delegate instead on didRangeBeacons:
You should also create a boolean flag (variable) to prevent duplicate sending of notification. And mark it true inside your if condition when minor/major match and set it to false in didExitRegion:
BOOL _isInsideRegion;
- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didEnterRegion:(CLRegion *)region {
if ([region isKindOfClass:[CLBeaconRegion class]]) {
CLBeaconRegion *beaconRegion = (CLBeaconRegion *)region;
int major = [beaconRegion.major intValue];
int minor = [beaconRegion.major.minor intValue];
if (major == 43005 && minor == 52679) {
if (!_isInsideRegion) {
UILocalNotification *notification = [[UILocalNotification alloc] init];
notification.soundName = #"Default";
notification.alertBody = #"Green";
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] presentLocalNotificationNow:notification];
}
_isInsideRegion = YES;
self.beaconColour.text = #"Green";
}
else if (major == 48891 && minor == 47852) {
if (!_isInsideRegion) {....
}
}
- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didExitRegion:(CLRegion *)region {
if ([region isKindOfClass:[CLBeaconRegion class]]) {
CLBeaconRegion *beaconRegion = (CLBeaconRegion *)region;
if (major == 43005 && minor == 52679) {
if (!_isInsideRegion) {
// You can send another notification to inform user that he left the region
}
_isInsideRegion = NO;
}
When your app is in the background, you don't get region entry/exit events super quickly. It can take up to 15 minutes to get a notification. See here: http://developer.radiusnetworks.com/2013/11/13/ibeacon-monitoring-in-the-background-and-foreground.html
I have this code which send user notifications every time the distance between an event that occur in a local JSON file and his current location is < 100 meter asking him whether he is at that event or not , when he presses on yes then that event will be marked as attended. the thing is I tried to do that by using some code i found online but I'm not sure if it is the right way to do it, anyway i tested it on my iPhone and what happened is when i arrived to an event location it kept sending unstoppable notifications and when i try to press yes or no nothing actually happen it keeps sending these notifications. Can anyone plz explain for me what is going wrong, I'm not very familiar with Xcode and objective-C language. The code i used is shown below.
in AppDelegate.m

}

// attended

// save
NSError *error = nil;
if (![_managedObjectContext save:&error])
{
NSLog(#"Error in saving");
}
}
}
in my DataManager class:
- (void) locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager
didUpdateToLocation:(CLLocation *)newLocation
fromLocation:(CLLocation *)oldLocation {
//NSLog(#"MV_EventsDataManager new location: latitude %+.6f, longitude %+.6f\n", newLocation.coordinate.latitude, newLocation.coordinate.longitude);
for (Event *musicevent in [self loadTodaysEvents]) {
// distance
CLLocationDegrees lat = [musicevent.lat doubleValue];
CLLocationDegrees lon = [musicevent.longi doubleValue];
CLLocation *evLocation = [[CLLocation alloc] initWithLatitude:lat longitude:lon];
double distance = [evLocation distanceFromLocation:newLocation];
//NSLog(#"\t Calculated KM %# to %#", [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%.1f",(distance/1000.0)], musicevent.title);
// CLOSE !
if (distance <= 100) {
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] cancelAllLocalNotifications];
UILocalNotification *localNotification = [[UILocalNotification alloc] init];
localNotification.alertBody = #"Are u there!";
localNotification.soundName = UILocalNotificationDefaultSoundName;
localNotification.applicationIconBadgeNumber = 1; // increment
// NSDictionary *infoDict = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:#"Object 1", #"Key 1", #"Object 2", #"Key 2", nil];
// localNotification.userInfo = infoDict;
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] scheduleLocalNotification:localNotification];
}
}
}
Depending on how you setup the location manager, the delegate method locationManager:didUpdateToLocation:fromLocation: will typically be called once per second with location updates. So your code is posting local notifications over and over. You need to keep track of when you've posted a notification so you can avoid posting duplicates.
I'm working on a class to handle all my iBeacon testing. It's purpose is to start looking for regions, range the beacons, identify them then send notifications. The code is below.
The problem I'm having is the app is running very slowly, I know iBeacons have latency issues, and sometimes simply stops working (won't identify a close beacon). My code is messy I know, trying to sort the logic before I work on cleaning it. I'm wondering if I have missed a logic flaw here (and by that I mean, I wonder which logic flaws I've introduced!).

Do you mean that didEnterRegion and didExitRegion callbacks are being delayed?
If your app is running in the foreground while you are ranging, you should get entered region notifications within a second, and exit region notifications within a few seconds. If your app is in the background, it can take up to 15 minutes to get either an in region or an out of region notification.
For details on this timing, see here.
These latency issues are not beacon-specific. They have to do with the way the CoreLocation API is implemented in iOS.
