How can I tell if my device doesn't see beacons?

I'm creating an iOS 7 app that will react to nearby beacons. However, I need to consider users that have an iPhone 4 or any other device that will not detect beacons. How can I tell if the device my app is running on supports beacons?

If you want to monitor or range for beacons you might want to check if monitoring is available via CoreLocation Framework - Here is the way to do it :

if (![CLLocationManager isMonitoringAvailableForClass:[CLBeaconRegion class]]) {

UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Monitoring not available" message:nil delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:@"Ok" otherButtonTitles: nil]; [alert show]; return;

}

else{ //Monitoring is available }

you can use CBCentral manager state. If it is CBCentralManagerStateUnsupported it doesn't support BLE.
