After configuring a eddystone beacon I can see the "unregistered" Eddystone-URL in the Android "Beacon Tool" but not as "nearby notification".
I found the following lines in the logcat of my device:
2018-10-07 13:08:34.391 530-18111/? D/[email protected]_lock: Acquire wakelock is acquired 2018-10-07 13:08:34.391 530-18111/?

I/BeaconBle: Stopping scan on delegate scanner. BT state: 12 2018-10-07 13:08:34.458 9795-7285/? D/BluetoothAdapter: isLeEnabled(): ON

I changed the URL and the ID if the beacon but it does not work. During my tests I figured out, there are request comming from the physical Web crawler:

My question is, why does the NearbyDiscovery repeats the message "Disabled by server https://ux5.de/game, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jentsch.smartsquares, URL invalid: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jentsch.smartsquares [CONTEXT service_id=49 ]"?

Forgot to mention, you can send people to the app store using Eddystone UID rather than Eddystone URL. You need an Eddystone UID beacon, be sure to configure it with a unique ID numbers, then setup Google Beacon Dashboard account within Google's developer platform. It's a little tricky to figure out how to set it up the first time, but reasonably easy to handle once it is up and running.
