Connectivity BLE // NFC

Can you post a screenshot from nRF Connect App showing the 4 iBeacons? Maybe that will help figure out why the other 2 are different.

Hey Mariano.

I figured out the issue: 2 of the tags were configured as Id tags not iBeacon. I reconfigured them and they are all visible now.

Thanks for your assistance!

Hi Phil and others,

I might be running in the same issue as you - I have a Acconeer XM-122 (using the NordicSemi nRF52840 module) and I can discover it using the nRF Connect app. As far as I can see on the advertised data, it should be in the beacon mode, but I am unsure whether this means nRF Beacon type or iBeacon type, since I cannot scan it using the scanAndPublish example in the library - any ideas to what it could be?

Page 11 of the following document is what I am doing: https://developer.acconeer.com/download/xm122-software-development-guide-pdf/

from the doc they only seem to mention the nrf beacon type, not ibeacon. I think the nrf connect app should be able to show the beacon type based on the screenshot p.13

It did! I did some ‘raw’ searching of nearby beacons using the library after I made a new beacon type based on the iBeacon interface - it works. Thanks!
