Hi Fred,

First guess: You are in the role of a bluetooth peripheral, 
so maybe the key in the plist should be bluetooth-peripheral

Best,
Benjamin

I'm asking the question because I have made the test...

- I start an advertising service when the app is launching.
- I'm using a packet sniffer to check that advertising packet are sent from the iPhone/iOS6

When the app stays in foreground, advertising packets are visible with the sniffer
When I switch the app in background, advertising packet are no more sent by the app...

I can confirm that my plist file contains:

<key>UIBackgroundModes</key>

<array>

<string>bluetooth-central</string>

</array>

Do I miss something (to be set in the plist file) ?


My question is not regarding receiving advertising in background mode BUT sending advertising in background mode (new from iOS6)

Regards,


Fred

Yes, support for this was introduced in iOS5. Please see the WWDC 2012 presentations on CoreBluetooth.
