Yeah. To make sure, I tested before posting that answer. Unfortunately, still this is the case. To be honest, I don’t expect this to change either. 
I guess Apple is trying to make sure that the user on at least on side of the connection is aware that a connection is being made.

Cheers,

Sorry if this may be a dead horse but I still don't fully understand:  Is the answer to the below SO question indeed correct: that although a CBPeripheralManager can advertise in the background and a CBCentralManager can scan in the background, a backgrounded CBCentralManager cannot discover a backgrounded CBPeripheralManager because it can only scan for a specified service but the services are not included in background advertisements?

That would explain a lot since I'm not having much luck getting backgrounded iphones acting as both centrals and peripherals to detect each other.  

thanks,
