That's too bad. Their Android SDK was quite good and they were very responsive with issues submitted for it. I used it at a Google Glass hackathon and working with Apple's iBeacon technology was super easy - probably why they are being forced to remove it.

This sucks.....luckily we can fork the library legally.

Does anyone have the old documentation cached anywhere? I'd love to take a stab at writing a client.

It's not totally clear to me if they were asked by Apple to do this, or if they're doing it proactively.Either way, it's a bummer. Fork while you can :-)

Speculation, but this might be as simple as avoiding trademark infringement. In such case, releasing the product under new branding and avoiding use of "iBeacon" might be sufficient.If there are IP claims as well it may not be so simple.

The good news is that there's no good way that Apple can stop Android devices (or other devices with BTLE) from broadcasting or detecting iBeacons.Glad to see that the source code is still available to fork.

Is this Apple's latest attempt at blocking innovation?(Apologies if I offend the fanboys / fangirls who think only Microsoft ever did that)
