I am creating an ANE for Urban Airship, a service for sending push notifications (among other things). Via the help provided here: Hooking into main application's onCreate method from Adobe AIR extension I've been able to get push notifications, both textual and rich, working even when the application is closed. However, now I am having an issue using the Gimbal SDK using the GimbalAdapter provided by Urban Airship at https://github.com/urbanairship/ua-extensions.
The GimbalAdapter is just a wrapper class for starting up the Gimbal SDK and sending a Gimbal visit to Urban Airship. The trouble, it seems, is that these visits are not getting reported by Gimbal (or Urban Airship is not reacting to Gimbal reacting to the beacons). It is also odd that I've added a BeaconEventListener to the GimbalAdapter to just log raw beacon events, but I'm not seeing those either.
Here's my GimbalAdapter:

It would seem that the Gimbal service is being started successfully. Then I start getting those "gimbalVisitCloseJob" every 5 seconds. This takes place when the nearby Gimbal s21 beacon is on or off.
However, the beacon event listener nor the place event listener in the GimbalAdapter are firing, so Urban Airship is not delivering the automated message that has been set up to be triggered by this beacon.
