how i get the mac of ibeacon or BLE

Question

Recently,I'm doing a IBeacon program.it is like "lightbeacon" in apple store.

the "lightbeacon" only can scan their company's ibeacons. so my boss made me create a app for my company.

Now,i scan my ibeacon,but i don't get zhe mac address of ibeacon. The picture is "lightbeacon"，i would like to do like this 。

Now, according to

- (void)centralManager:(CBCentralManager *)central 
       didDiscoverPeripheral:(CBPeripheral *)peripheral 
       advertisementData:(NSDictionary *)advertisementData 
       RSSI:(NSNumber *)RSSI

{

}

I know CBPeripheral.identifier can distinguish the ibeacons ,but I need the mac address to make me know the ibeacon. My company's ibeacons are only have a paper of mac address .So I need MAC address!

OSX/iOS hide BLE MAC addresses and it's not possible to get that information through the API.

You could try to inspect the values for advertisementData, it is a dictionary with keys that may contain different useful information. That information is usually manufacturer specific, so you need to ask for the structure of the scan response from your iBeacon manufacturer.
