Thanks Andras, I know for a fact that does work. When I receive the didDiscoverCallBack, I connect to the device, then disconnect, and then restart the BTLE scan. This all worked great prior to the update to Xcode 4.5.1 and iOS 6.

This behavior has not changed in iOS6. I haven't seen any "regular" way to implement what you would like. However, there is a theoretical solution. I have not tried it yet but I suppose it should work. When you receive the didDiscoverCallback, the app gets about 10 seconds to run. During this, you may restart the scanning by stopping it first and then starting again. The question is whether restarting the scan clears out the cache while the app is backgrounded.

Has there been any update with iOS 6.0 that allows for the reset of

CentralManager so that that same device can be discovered multiple times in the background? I have a device that I would like to trigger multiple callbacks to didDiscoverPeripheral in the background. I know there was no way to do this in iOS5 but I wanted to see if there were any updates.

There's the CBCentralManagerScanOptionAllowDuplicatesKey you can pass

to -scanForPeripheralsWithServices:options:. Dunno what that does in the background, but if it's on in the foreground, you get advertising packets as long as you scan.
