Hello everyone,

I’m developing an app that connects to Bluetooth Low Energy devices. While the stability of my connection is generally good, I’m looking to improve it. I noticed that the app from VanMoof, a company that makes ebikes, has an really strong connection. It even manages to connect to devices even when the app is forcefully closed. Could you please advise me on how I can improve the stability of my Bluetooth Low Energy connection and ensure that it continues to work even when the app is forcefully closed?

Thanks in advance for your help!

We can't comment on how other developers may have implemented their solutions, but it is possible that they are not only using BLE, but have additional technologies if their app is able to automatically reconnect to their accessories after a user force quits their app.

An app cannot reestablish a BLE connection automatically via CoreBluetooth, without the user explicitly relaunching it, if it has been previously force quit.

As for your comment on a "strong connection", that will most likely have something to do with their hardware design, signal power, and antenna configuration - if what you meant was the connection is not dropping easily.
