iBeaconReceiver

You an download a video to see the app running here.

How to run

1. To turn you Mac into a Beacon download MactsAsBeacon and follow the instructions written in its README.
2. Set the UUID as 9C07E0AB-EC3C-4968-9296-59A0579D0678 (unfortunatly MactsAsBeacon doesn't allow you to paste it 😅).
3. Run iBeaconReceiver on an iOS Device.

How it works

iBeaconReceiver sends an HTTP request every 4 seconds when there's the beacon near the device.

There are 2 tabs:

• iBeacon: used for the beacon recognition. The view gets red when there's no beacon, yellow when it's close to it and green when it's very close.

• Profile: there are hardcoded some user info

Software Design Decisions

Storyboard

In the project there a file Storyboard.swift which takes care to instantiate view controllers in a type-safe and declarative way.

TabItem

In the project there a file TabItem.swift which takes care to set the view controller's tabBarItem property in a type-safe and declarative way.

NetworkManager

The NetworkManager is extremely simple. It's a singleton which has a Void method that sends a HTTP Post request to an hardcoded API with a harcoded header. It doesn't return any type of data because the response should not be used.

This network layer has an hardcoded style because it's extremely simple and the app is just a prototype. In a real app I would a network layer like the one I used here.

Pattern Matching

I used the Swift Pattern Matching (here is the line) to check is there's a recognized beacon or none.
