Isn't iBeacon built on top of Core Bluetooth? What stops you scanning in the background with CB?

- eddieroger 12y agoNothing. You can continue to range and monitor in the background, but you can not be a beacon in the background while using the blessed methods for doing so. I haven't dug in to CoreBluetooth directly, but the CLLocationManager abstraction layer doesn't allow you to broadcast in the background.
