iBeacon and CoreBluetooth

Hi, I know that beacon ranging is related to CoreLocations API.

I want know if I can receive beacon advertisement data using CoreBluetooth API as with every other BLE devices, so I can use BLE API to check advertisement from beacons and others devices at the same time.

I've read some blog articles about that iBeacon advertisement data is masked by OS when used with CoreBluetooth, as you will get only UUID and RSSI data, without Major and Minor in manufacturer payload.


Thank you all

Alessandro
