## Description

CC Beacon Sim is a public developer tool for the CrowdConnected SDK team.<br><br>It connects to a live simulation session (via QR code scan or deep link) and physically broadcasts BLE beacons — iBeacon and Eddystone-UID — using the device&#39;s Bluetooth LE advertiser. This allows engineers to test the CrowdConnected indoor positioning SDK against real BLE signals without deploying physical beacon hardware.<br><br>How it works:<br>1. A simulation session is created in the CrowdConnected dev tool.<br>2. The QR code or deep link is scanned on this device.<br>3. The dev tool sends BLE beacon configurations over the session.<br>4. CC Beacon Sim broadcasts those beacons immediately via BLE advertising.<br>5. A second device running the CrowdConnected SDK picks up the broadcasts and runs normal indoor positioning.<br><br>This app is intended for use by developers and QA engineers.
