Your app might detect a beacon, find a second beacon, and then toggle between the two

Your app might toggle between different distances, thinking that it’s Near a beacon and then Far

Your app might lose all contact with beacons for a very brief interval

There might be delays in receiving lock screen notifications

Your app will behave differently when it’s in background mode versus “in front” and won’t detect beacons at all if the user has hard closed the app
