Hi @r-bansal

Thank you for the issue.
I will fix that.

I'm having the same problem with Android. Did you get it to work with Android @r-bansal?

The beacon monitoring is started successfully but the event won't trigger:
DeviceEventEmitter.addListener('beaconsDidEnter', (data) => {
console.log('beaconsDidEnter')
console.log(data)
})

@MacKentoch many thanks for the quick reply, any idea as to when a PR will be up? Just curious why it was not working?

[relaxedtomato]

@fannedalk - you need to listen for the correct events so regionDidEnter and regionDidExit, it works fine on Android.

@r-bansal it won't be a PR but a new release.

I don't know. I'm still investigating.

But I can tell you it is the same issues as the original lib.
For example

• #48
• or #40

[MacKentoch]

As we discovered with the huge help from @r-bansal (thank you), iOS monitoring has constraints if you want it.
If I were a newcomer to beacon technology and iOS I would be lost.

I want it accessible / easy to understand and use so I'm preparing a huge improvement in the documentation / examples.

fixed in v1.0.4.
