Bluetooth Background Image for iOS

I want to continue scanning for Bluetooth devices, and I want the application to be live in the background. Is it possible? It looks like if I have a connected Bluetooth device, and if there is data transfer, then the application does not work in the background. However, if I just scan in the background, it seems that even if I have Uses Bluetooth LE accessories checked ( bluetooth-central in plist), the application does not work.

Is there a way to save the application in real time and continuously scan devices when it is in the background?

If your application will not be released on the Apple Store, you can use any of the background modes described here . Please read this entire article if you do not understand the background execution in iOS - it is important that you know this as an iOS developer.

You also don't seem to understand how Core Bluetooth works in the background, so please read this article .

In short: you need a good reason to keep your app in the background indefinitely and be accepted by the Apple Store Review.

EDIT:

What OP means is that the device did not wake up. Decision. You need to listen to a specific BLE service in CoreBluetooth to start waking up.
