What to use instead of regionMonitoringAvailable which is deprecated in iOS 7?

Question

regionMonitoringAvailable is deprecated in iOS 7. What are we supposed to use instead?

Answer 1

The header file for CLLocationManager states that you should now use [CLLocationManager isMonitoringAvailableForClass:]:

Determines whether the device supports monitoring for the specified type of region. If NO, all attempts to monitor the specified type of region will fail.

You pass in the class of CLRegion you wish to monitor. For example:

[CLLocationManager isMonitoringAvailableForClass:[CLBeaconRegion class]];

Edit: As @anna mentions above, this is also discussed in the Location and Maps Programming Guide.

Apple usually post information about alternatives to deprecated methods, but unfortunately the documentation, headers, and other programming guides are sometimes out of sync with one another.
