# CLBeaconIdentityCondition

A condition that describes the identity characteristics of a beacon.

```
@interface CLBeaconIdentityCondition : CLCondition
```

## Overview

Core Location defines a beacon identity by UUID, and major and minor values. You need to specify the UUID. If you only specify a UUID, the framework treats the major and minor values as wildcards and any beacons with the same UUID satisfy the condition. Similarly, if you specify only a UUID and a major value, the framework treats the minor value as a wildcard and any beacons with the same UUID and major value satisfy the condition.

## Topics

### Creating beacon identity conditions

[`initWithUUID:`](/documentation/CoreLocation/CLBeaconIdentityCondition/initWithUUID:)

Creates a new beacon identity condition with the identifier you specify.

[`initWithUUID:major:`](/documentation/CoreLocation/CLBeaconIdentityCondition/initWithUUID:major:)

Creates a new beacon identity condition with the identifier and major value you specify.

[`initWithUUID:major:minor:`](/documentation/CoreLocation/CLBeaconIdentityCondition/initWithUUID:major:minor:)

Creates a new beacon identity condition with the identifier, and major and minor values you specify.

### Accessing the beacon’s properties

[`UUID`](/documentation/CoreLocation/CLBeaconIdentityCondition/UUID)

A universally unique identifier that represent the beacon’s identifier.

[`major`](/documentation/CoreLocation/CLBeaconIdentityCondition/major)

The most significant value associated with the beacon.

[`minor`](/documentation/CoreLocation/CLBeaconIdentityCondition/minor)

The least significant value associated with the beacon.
