Note

In the project, I'm using estimote beacon with UUID = b9407f30-f5f8-466e-aff9-25556b57fe6d. In case you are using another company's product, just modify the UUID in path src/app/home/home.page.ts

 uuid = <Beacon UUID>;

Troubleshooting

If all goes well it will start scanning for nearby beacons after pressing play button, but if you run into:

Cannot read property 'locationManager' of undefined

This is due to instability of the iBeacon plugin. To overcome the issue, replace some files with the ones you have in the project, see here.
