Getting started "estimote" not found
Posted: 22:21, 14 Feb 2015
Hi, I was directed here from https://github.com/evothings/phonegap-estimotebeacons README.
Ultimate goal is to use cordova/phonegap to build apps for both Android and iOS using estimote beacons. I will also need to use other cordova plugins as well. Because I will need other plugins, my understanding is that just using a vanille Evothings workbench setup is a non-starter. I want a good, fast, dev cycle and so far Evothings Workbench looks like a pretty good way to do this. I'm really quite new to the world of mobile development, but I'm already fairly along the way of getting myself setup (I think).
So the problem...which I think is pretty basic:
I followed the instructions for running the Beacon Finder app, about 1/3 down the README.
For the step to "Build and run the Beacon Finder example app." I ran which successfully pushed to my usb-connected android phone.
Followed the rest of the steps from that section.
Result: range-finder demo does nothing. I look in workbench tools and on bottom log I see
I probably should note that if I run the estimote beacon example included in the Workbench and then connect using Evothings Client...that demo app does in fact work correctly.
I also want to note that I've tried a couple of slightly different runs at my ideal setup and so far this one is the closest I have come to success. So thanks
. Hopefully someone can help me get past the finish line now!
