BLE Extended Scan in Background

From what I understand, iOS supports receiving a BLE advertisement packet while the app is running in the background if:

  1. The app defines "bluetooth-central" in the UIBackgroundModes section of info.plist
  2. The service UUID is given when calling the centralManager.scanForPeripherals function
  3. The service UUID is transmitted in the actual advertisement packet, and not the scan response

My question is this: if the peripheral uses BLE 5.0 extended advertisements, and the service UUID that the iOS device is scanning for is in the extended packet, will the app get a didDiscover peripheral callback while in background mode?
