In IOS 8, Apple has changed its policy regarding the Beacons. It now supports only Beacons having manufacturing id set to Apple ID (0x004C) in advertising packet. Nordic nRF Beacon having manufacturing ID set to Nordic Semiconductor ID (0x0059) will not be recognised by the CoreLocation API in IOS 8. Therefore, IOS app nRF Beacons will not work with nRF Beacon device if its manufacturing id is not set to Apple ID in advertising packet.
