iBeacon Receiver is not recognising the transmitted signal

Question

I am working on iBeacon transmitter and receiver. I have successfully completed the transmitter part but the other part the receiver is not recognising the transmitted signal. Can any body please help me identify where i went wrong? Is there anything more I have to add in .plist. I have tried stackoverflow answers but sorry to tell that nothing worked.

You need to ask the permission to use the bluetooth.

Use requestAlwaysAuthorization (for background location) or requestWhenInUseAuthorization (when foreground).

You also need the NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription or NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription key in Info.plist with a message to be displayed in the prompt to the user like "I need your permission to access bluetooth" or whatever.
