Title: Running timers in background of BLE app
We did some testing along these lines and a timer that runs for 15 min won't work in the background. You have to hook into the didDiscoverPeripheral at some point. Once this call is issued in the background you have aprox. 10seconds to do what you need to do before the watchdog gets you (or to register for a long running background task). That is unless another didDiscoverPeripheral gets called in which case you have another 10 seconds or so. If your iOS device is going to be in constant proximity of your Bluetooth object you could store the initial discovery time and check if 15min have passed on the subsequent discoveries.

Hi All,
I have an app that is currently scanning for BLE devices in the background. This part is working well, but I now need to trigger an event every 15 minutes or so. If the app subscribes to bluetooth-central, can Timers be run in the background? If not does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks in advance for any information.


Nick
