iBeacon App Development: Building a Retail App

iBeacon – one of the hottest technology trends of recent times is fast becoming ubiquitous. And with the latest report from Unacast revealing that beacons are on track to hit ABI Research forecast of 400M beacons installed by 2020, this technology is definitely here to stay.

One of the most common challenges when it comes to beacons, however, is developing a beacon-enabled app. This is quite critical since beacons can’t be detected without an app. Looking at the interactions we have with developers and the keen interest they have shown in beacons and developing iBeacon apps, we are thrilled to announce our iBeacon App Development Course on Creating a Beacon-enabled Retail App for developers who want to learn the basics of how to build an iBeacon app.
