Hello. In my app, I need to implement the following mechanism: I need to collect data from nearby Bluetooth devices, process them, and send this information to the server at short intervals, including when the app is minimized. Is this possible on iOS? BGProcessingTask has restrictions related to battery saving policies and does not guarantee task execution at specific intervals. Additionally, there is a limitation on background task execution, which can occur no more frequently than every 15 minutes. However, some apps, such as Google Maps, work in the background and update geolocation data. Could you suggest a solution for this task? Thanks for any help on this topic

Hello, Our device firmware has a companion iOS app that allows a user to rename it. We are connected to the iPhone via BT Classic. The new name is reflected on the app, however, the iPhone BT device list still shows the old name. It doesn't seem to get updated to the new name unless we unpair/re-pair the device to the phone. Is there a way to get the iPhone to update to the new name in the Settings BT device list without unpairing the device? Is this possible in BT Classic? Thanks.

Hi, I want to develop an application with service can discover neighbors devices bluetooth in background, this service can run even app was killed. The scan of bluetooth start every 5 sec as service, and find Bluetooth device and can read data from BLE device. It's possible with IOS? any limitations? Thank you Regads, Thuyet

Hi, we actually have an application where we use iPad to run a WEB Application to display multiple Entertainment/Information content and control Infrastructure. The device is usually connected to a base station (own design) using BLE und USB only for power, is locked in single App Mode using MDM. As long as the App is open it is working fine. But now we like to go to the next step and like to have the device movable and use power save. How can we achieve the iPad wakes up immediately from sleep mode (directly to the app) if somebody is pressing a button on the base station (we support Comm Port, and HID Keyboard service, we can change code on base station if needed). And how can we achieve the same over Network (Wi-Fi or Ethernet with Adapter, Internet access is not always available). May set a state on the MQTT broker and tablet should wake up from sleep. Thanks for feedback Patrik

We have observed a significant increase in download time from the sensors to the mobile device after recent OS updates. We are connected to the external sensors via the BLE interface using the following connection parameters(15,15,0,6000) https://mbientlab.com/tutorials/MetaMotionRL.html: example 1.For 1 Meter with duration of 28 Seconds the IOS 17.1 taking 44 secs where as IOS 17.5.1 taking 82 secs . 2..For 1 Meter with duration of 45 Seconds the IOS 17.1 taking 74 secs where as IOS 17.5.1 taking 143 secs . Even with the same connection parameters, download times were considerably lower in iOS 15 and below devices. We are currently using the connection parameters 15, 15, 0, 6000. I have learned from some documents that the minimum connection interval was changed to 20, but when I tried it, the download time increased further. I am seeking assistance on how to achieve the same download times as the older versions. https://mbientlab.com/community/discussion/comment/11852#Comment_11852
