In my current app i am using 

    self.locationManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init];
    if ([_locationManager respondsToSelector:@selector(requestAlwaysAuthorization)])/
         [_locationManager requestAlwaysAuthorization];
    //self.locationManager.allowsBackgroundLocationUpdates = YES;
    self.locationManager.delegate = self;
    [self.locationManager startMonitoringForRegion:tempRegio
    [self.locationManager startRangingBeaconsInRegion:beaconRegion];

in this case nowhere i need to know user's location still my app asks that it will use you current location even when you're not using this app

Which is annoying for end user plus it constantly display purple arrow on the statubar indicating that the app uses GPS (Which it does not )

My question is

Can we have mechanism where we can scan the beacon without use of CLLocationManager

1 possible solution is to use CBCentralManager but i do not find a proper way where i can use it to detect beacons/ibeacons

Thanks

  • Why do you think that the CLLocation manager is not tracking your location? It does constantly track your location to listen and detect if any beacons are in Range. – TheAppMentor Nov 17 '15 at 12:34
  • I am not getting that why app need to know my physical location to listen for beacon which is based on Bluetooth , BLE – Mihir Mehta Nov 17 '15 at 13:45
  • @mihirmehta Beacon has a proximity value..That gives you range of your beacon..Thats why it needs your location. – LC 웃 Jul 28 '16 at 15:40
