An application to launch a Bluetooth beacon or generate a push notification

Question

Is it possible to achieve something like launch using a geofenced application, but using Bluetooth beacons instead of GPS? That is, when the phone approaches a device with a specific identifier, it will launch the application (or somehow generate a push notification, which, in turn, can launch the application)?

Answer 1

No, not in iOS 6 or 5. You would be interested to look at the documents for the upcoming release. You can find something there to pleasantly surprise.
