BeaconScanner

The utility runs on macOS and continuously scans for nearby Bluetooth Low Energy devices that broadcast iBeacon‑compatible advertisements. It creates a Core Bluetooth central manager on a dedicated dispatch queue, starts scanning with duplicate callbacks enabled, and parses each advertisement’s manufacturer data to extract the iBeacon payload. When a valid iBeacon is recognized, the app creates an object containing its UUID, major/minor values and RSSI, and updates the display in real time.

It is intended for developers or technicians who need a simple desktop tool to monitor iBeacon presence without writing code, and for anyone wanting to add iBeacon client functionality to other macOS projects. The source framework is reusable, exposing the parsing logic and beacon‑signal stream for integration.

The application can be run from a prebuilt zip archive or built from source using CocoaPods and Xcode, and it updates the list of detected beacons automatically as long as scanning continues.
