ContextHub Element Services Beacon Update Gist

// Updating a beacon with the name "Beacon 2" and adding the tag "park"
// In order to update a beacon, you need to pass in a dictionary with the same dictionary structure as from either the create or get methods
// Note, this is where a custom class is very helpful in taking the information in a CLBeaconRegion (which is marked partly read-only by Apple) and updating it
// See DMBeacon in DetectMe sample app for more information
