Replicates detecting and broadcasting iBeacons in the background
An iOS library that replicates iBeacon functionality using CoreBluetooth for full background broadcasting and detection.
What is Replicates detecting and broadcasting iBeacons in the background?
Vicinity is an iOS library that replicates iBeacon functionality by using the CoreBluetooth framework instead of CoreLocation. It solves the problem of limited background operation support in CoreLocation by enabling full background broadcasting and detection of low-energy Bluetooth devices through RSSI analysis.
iOS developers building applications that require reliable background Bluetooth proximity detection, such as location-based services, asset tracking, or indoor navigation systems.
Developers choose Vicinity because it overcomes CoreLocation's background limitations, provides greater control over Bluetooth operations, and offers a more flexible approach to iBeacon-like proximity detection with built-in signal smoothing.
