Hello,

Proximity Trigger is still a beta feature, I'm sorry if it was not properly announced. You can always write your own scanning service implementation using this:

    fun triggerPendingIntentWhenInProximity(pendingIntent: PendingIntent)

Remember to implement your own PendingIntent - you can start the ProximityObserver in a custom BroadcastReceiver for example.

We're working on improving this feature, and we've added more improvements to our backlog :)

Hi,

Thank you for your reply. Implemented and testing as you advised and will update to you soon.

App is crashing all the time after updated to new version '1.0.3'. Please find the error screenshots below and please do the needful.

What I ended up doing was integrating the AltBeacon Library into my app and that seems to support pretty much every android OS. You can find my implementation with Estimote Libs and AltBeacon here: https://github.com/zack-hable/estimote-cordova/tree/master/src/android

Hi zack-hable,
I can see old version of Proximity SDK used in your link. Also I need help in Background Trigger not in Foreground. Please let me know if you have any update on Background Proximity Trigger using latest version of Proximity SDK.

Hi pawelDylag,
Any update on above attached crashes in '1.0.3'. Its happening all the time when opening the app and unable to test it due to that. Please reply.
