Hi everyone,
I'm using a TI BLE key fob, along with an application running on my ipod that will scan for and connect to the key fob. Everything works fine until I start the scan and then background the application before powering up the keyfob. Even though I have set UIBackgroundModes = "bluetooth-central" in the application's info.plist, the didDiscoverPeripheral function never seems to be called when in the background.
Reading through the documentation and the forums, I understand that it can take 55 times longer to discover a peripheral in the background. However even after waiting much longer than that, the device never seems to be detected. If I bring the app back to the foreground, the key fob is detected instantly.
I've seen several posts outlining similar problems, but I haven't seen any solutions on this forum.
Can anyone shed some light on this?
Thanks
Marlon
