Beacons no longer detected on El Capitan

See original GitHub issue

A script using bleacon working perfectly no longer works on El Capitan GM.

When running the following

Bleacon.on('discover', function(bleacon){
  console.log("monkey");
  console.log(bleacon.uuid);
});
Bleacon.startScanning("3ddd37e386d1487e9f4aba1dbf64d274");

nothing is detected on OS X El Capitan, while the exact same script (verified via git) on a raspberry detects the correct iBeacon immediately.

The script worked fine on Yosemite and Maverick.

That makes two of us - I’m out of ideas as well, but think it’s an OS issue since the code worked just fine before installing El Capitan.

Thanks anyway!
