Re: BLE App vibrating in background when getting data from BLE device

site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com Delivered-To: bluetooth-dev(a)lists.apple.com Hi Mike, The best way to advocate for a change is to submit the App with the behavior you want and then work with Apple to get it approved. We are in unchartered territory on this one so it really helps to have a real App to trigger the discussion.
