Found, documented at forums and tested it's an Objective-C iOS 8 related bug. Same code written in Swift just works. Working swift code, delegate is call.

Add Core Location framework to Project Settings / Targets / Capabilities / Background Modes set "Location Updates" and "Uses Bluetooth LE Accessories" Add key at Info.plist NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription

import CoreLocation

class ViewController: UIViewController, CLLocationManagerDelegate  {

var locManager: CLLocationManager?

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    self.locManager = CLLocationManager();
    self.locManager!.delegate = self;
    if (!CLLocationManager.locationServicesEnabled()) {
        println("Location services are not enabled");
    }
    self.locManager!.requestAlwaysAuthorization();
    self.locManager!.pausesLocationUpdatesAutomatically = false;
    let uuidString = ""  // My ibeacon string there
    let beaconIdentifier = "myCompany"
    let beaconUUID:NSUUID = NSUUID(UUIDString: uuidString)
    let beaconRegion:CLBeaconRegion = CLBeaconRegion(proximityUUID: beaconUUID,
        identifier: beaconIdentifier)
    self.locManager!.startMonitoringForRegion(beaconRegion)
    self.locManager!.startRangingBeaconsInRegion(beaconRegion)
    self.locManager!.startUpdatingLocation()
}

Dialog appears OK
