NearBy Message API not working with iBeacon uploaded on beacon platform

[ashutosh-android]

I have uploaded one iBeacon(Kontakt) in my Beacon Platform project . I used python sample to upload the same. I used below call for this
pb-cli --service-account-creds creds.json register-beacon --beacon-json '{"advertisedId":{"type":"IBEACON","id":""},"status":"ACTIVE"}' --no-ibeacon-props

Here Encoded Id is generated by encoding iBeacon UDID + Major(Hex) + Minor(Hex)

My iBeacon is uploaded successfully and I can see it in my Beacon Platform dashboard, however I am not able to receive messages in my app which is developed using NearBy samples.

Please note it's working perfectly fine for beacons using eddystone protocol (Kontakt again) which I uploaded using Beacon Tools mobile app. I am using NearBy Message sample for both Foreground and Background mode, and I am getting messages only for eddystone beacon , not for iBeacon.

Are any additional steps needed for iBeacon ?

Guys,

Any update on this ? Please let me know if I need to provide any more details on this.

Hey,

to use Nearby Messages you need to add some attachments to your beacon; the Android API fetches these attachments and delivers them as messages (not raw beacon IDs).

Take a look here: https://developers.google.com/beacons/proximity/attachments

HTH!

Thanks for responding P.

Actually I am using attachments. Also everything works for me if I am using Beacon with Eddystone format, I am only seeing issue if I am using iBeacon instead.

Thanks,
