Question:
1) What's the maximum value for major and minor for iBeacon transmitter?
2) I'm using only one UUID, is there a limit for startRangingBeaconsInRegion to detect the major and minor value?
The purpose of the major and minor are to subdivide the identifier space for logical purposes. If you then match solely on UUID or UUID and major, you can take diffrent actions depending on which beacon is detected by examining the minor value.
How iBeacon works. The beacon's job is to continuously scan for smartphones and tablets that have Bluetooth open and are running the beacon's compatible mobile app. When such a device comes within range, the beacon sends a connection request to wake up the app.
Both Major and Minor is 16bits. So the maximum major/minor is 65535.
