Issue Summary After calling startRangingBeacons, the didRangeBeacons delegate method does not receive iBeacon scan data when the device display is turned off in the background. Expected Behavior On iOS 17.2.1 (iPhone 14), beacon ranging continues in the background even when the display is turned off. The same behavior is expected on iOS 18, but it is not working as intended. Observed Behavior On iOS 18, once the display turns off, beacon ranging stops, and the didRangeBeacons method is not triggered until the display is turned back on. • Location permission is set to “Always Allow.” • Background Modes are correctly configured (Location Updates enabled). Steps to Reproduce Ensure location permission is set to Always Allow. Enable Background Modes → Location Updates in Xcode settings. Call startRangingBeacons(in:) in the app. Put the app in the background and turn off the display. Observe that didRangeBeacons is not triggered while the display is off. Additional Notes • The issue does not occur on iOS 17.2.1 (iPhone 14), where beacon ranging continues even with the display off. • This behavior change is observed on iOS 18 across multiple devices. Could you confirm if this is an intended change in behavior or a bug? If this is expected behavior, what alternative approach is recommended to maintain continuous beacon ranging when the display is off in the background?

When I set the values of notifyOnExit and notifyOnEnter to true when registering CLCircularRegion, I checked that the didExitRegion and didEnterRegion functions are called well. However, there is a problem that they are called twice in a row every time they are called. I was wondering if this is an internal bug in the API. There is also a stackoverflow report related to the above issue. I would appreciate your confirmation. stackoverflow - why the didEnterRegion called twice? Thank you.

According to WWDC sessions, the recommended approach for continuing location collection in the background with liveUpdate is by using CLBackgroundActivitySession. In the app I’m currently developing, I call the invalidate function on the backgroundActivitySession instance when the app enters a terminated state. Then, when the app is resurrected due to startMonitoringSignificantLocationChanges, it reinitializes liveUpdate to resume location collection. When initializing CLBackgroundActivitySession, I also reinitialize the liveUpdates object to ensure the CLLocation.Updates instance is refreshed. However, regardless of the order in which I refresh these two instances, location collection does not resume when the app is revived in the background. Should the originally created CLBackgroundActivitySession instance never be invalidated? Any guidance on whether I am implementing this correctly would be greatly appreciated.
