Just started reading about this ibeacon that apple is selling out to retailers. If I wanted to created an app that connects to these beacons.. how can I do so? Cant seem to find any apis or any help for doing this, it is a relatively new technology. Also, can Android devices also utilize this technology?
Apple has an app called AirLocate that they released at WWDC this year. If you search on "AirLocate" you can find it online.
It is an app that lets you turn your BLE-capable iOS device (iPhone 4S or later, iPad mini/ iPad 3 or later, or 4" iPod) into either a beacon or a beacon detector.
With that source it's quite easy to figure out the basics of iBeacon programming.
As the other poster said, the newest Androids are able to detect beacons, but so far the firmware does not support sending as a beacon.
Yes, Android devices can interact with iBeacons using Radius Networks' Android iBeacon Library.
You can find a table that compares the APIs for both Android and iOS on this page. You may also want to Google for a tutorial.
This might be a very simple question but after much searching on different forums and on google I couldn't find a suitable answer for it. So I finally decided to ask the question here.
I have developed a game recently for iPad with gamecenter support that allows the user to play the game in online mode i.e Multiplayer. Now my client wants me to make this game universal. So my question here is.
Does gamecenter allow to play a match between an iPhone and an iPad device or does it only allow to play on same type of devices i.e iPhone to iPhone and iPad to iPad. ?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Finally I tested my universal application on an iPhone and iPad and I was able to play the game using gamecenter on two different type of device i.e an iPhone and an iPad.
Can I use the Apple SearchKit indexing framework in iOS, or is it only Mac OS? And can someone point me in the direction of some tutorials for getting that hooked up in iOS?
Thanks
As mentioned in the Search Kit Programming Guide, Search Kit is only available for OS X, not iOS. So far there is no API for Spotlight in iOS either.
Can anybody tell me how to search for available iPhone/iPod devices on a network in an iPhone application. I mean I want to connect to available iPhone/iPod devices on a network in one of my application.
Thanks in advance

Take a look at Game Kit and GKSession.
Search for "Bonjour" in the developer examples.
