iOS Question I Need to scan beacon at background in iOS

[youjunjer]

Dear all,
I am an android developer. I have completed an android app for scanning beacons in the background. My app will raise an "HTTP get" event for sending the data to my SQL server when android scanned a beacon. But now, my boss asks me to improve the same app in ios.
What I want to ask is iOS also can continue BLE scanning and send data to server by "http get" at background?

Running stuff in the background is more complicated in iOS.

Hi Erel,
In your post, it says "1. The iBeacon code will not work when the app is not running. It requires several additional steps that are currently not implemented."
Which means scanning beacon in the background is still not ready in B4i, is it right?

See post #6. It is the first step for monitoring beacons in the background.

Hi, Erel,
Does It say monitoring beacons in the background is possible? Sorry to bother you again, I need to know it exactly and then I will buy one b4i license.

It is possible to monitor specific beacons in the background. The example works in the foreground but it shouldn't be too complicated to make it work in the background as well.
