Our Beacon is already up and advertising. We will now write an app to detect the Beacon and the contents of the advertisement. Although Eddystone has excellent documentation provided by Google for both Android and iOS. Eddystone is originally developed by Google and in general sense has a more elaborative setup on Android. Hence, we shall start with Android first and then move on to iOS. For iOS, we shall give you a head start on the code and then expect that you do the rest as an exercise to gain a solid footing.
