You need connect the iBeacon before you read mac address.then you can get mac address by reading the property macAddress.

use ABBluetoothManager’s method startAprilBeaconsDiscovery to discover, then use ABBeacon’s method connectToBeacon to connect with iBeacon , when you get beaconDidConnected callback , then you can get mac address through macAddress property.
