Eddystone Scanner is a eddystone scanning library written in Swift that scans for eddystone beacons and maintains a list of all the nearby beacons.
CocoaPods is a dependency manager for Cocoa projects. You can install it with the following command:

pod 'EddystoneScanner'
end
Then, run the following command:
$ pod install
If you prefer not to use any of the aforementioned dependency managers, you can integrate EddystoneScanner into your project manually.
