How to use iBeacon to broadcast an advertisement? - broadcast

As the title, can anyone tell me this (maybe very simple but I really stuck in this).
Thank very much!

Beacons can't broadcast ads. All they can broadcast is their location. So you need your android app to recognise the location broadcast by a specific beacon (e.g. the bakery store) and send an ad for (e.g.) a free muffin. Hope that helps! Check Github for more beacon android info.

Twilio programmable video notifications

I developed a solution to allow my users to get in touch through video calls.
However, for iOS I can't manage to trigger notifications (CallKeep for example) to warn a user that someone is trying to contact him.
Would you have solutions to propose to me because I can't find anything conclusive.
Check out the Twilio Video quick start application has a CallKit example. Please take a look at that and see what you can learn.

Broadcasting online camera

I have online camera which is using some IP address and port. I have also credentials to login into camera (login, password) and I want to broadcast video from device to my webpage. What I need to do it? Which tools should I use? Model of this webcam is ST_IP760.
...and I found a solution (if anyone needs). Here is great website where you can post rtsp link and even embed player with your online camera to your website (but you need pay for this option; adding camera and broadcasting is free): https://ipcamlive.com/ .
Happy broadcasting :)

Is there any health/fitness band or activity tracker which supports alarms or vibration from third party apps?

Hi I am developing an android app which needs to send alert to the fitness device worn by the user.Basically it should make the band vibrate or sound an alarm.
I checked many bands including mapmyrun,jawbone etc but they are not exposing this api.
Have you seen GoogleFit? It is supposed to be integrated with all of them, so you can use a Vivofit, Fitbit or the one you want. Not sure if this is the correct answer, but for sure it will give you some clues about it. Hope it helps!
I just found out that Fitbit gives this feature for some of their bands
https://dev.fitbit.com/docs/devices/#alarms
"Fitbit activity trackers (excluding MobileTrack) have the ability to set alarms.

Objective-C Async communication between IOS devices

Is there a way to perform async communication between iPhones/IOS devices? I have been researching and thought maybe APN might fill that void, but it sounds like I can't initiate an APN push from an IOS dvice to another, and even if I could I can't trigger the "event" on the other device with just an APN push from what I can identify.
Does anyone have any examples or general advice for IOS device interaction for devices that are not in GameKit (i.e. wifi/bluetooth) range that does not require an intermediate service (urban airship, dedicated server, etc) or will I need to have a 3rd party in order to trigger and/or sync these interactions between devices?
Sorry I don't have any code or details as this is still in the planning phases for me. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
The answer is : use a server side app and have all your devices talk to that server.
If you dont want or cannot host an app, you can use a cloud solution based on websocket like Pusher. You can then subscribe to events and post messages with data.
They have an iOS client library

P.S: Also have a look at Parse and Stackmob , i remember that had this kind of feature was in their roadmap, but i don't know if it's available yet..
Hope this helps,

How to check if there's a carrier signal?

I'm planning to develop an iphone app and I need to know if it's possible to check if the iphone has any carrier signal or if it's as "no service".
I've talked with some developers and some keep telling me that it's possible while others say that it is not possible...
Anyone can help me with that?
You could look into the way MKNetworkKit handles reachability to domains. Haven't looked in depth, but I think it can tell the difference between wifi, cell network, and no service. That should give you everything you need.

You can use:
int wl = CTGetSignalStrength();
