Run custom code on BLE beacon event
Hello everyone, I am currently working on a project for the health sector. Basically we have some Bluetooth low energy devices that have a button. When this button is pressed (usually for emergency situation), this event should alert our backend and therefore send help. Is it technically possible to do this on IOS? I am aware that apple have very strict restrictions in relation to background services, and after doing some research I found that it's impossible to run any custom code if the app is terminated by the user. Is there a way to make a request for such special cases so that apple allows us to actually launch the app (or if not possible send a http request) when this beacon button is pressed (Of course with the bluetooth device already connected to the Iphone) even if the app is completely terminated. Thanks :)
