ESTNearableManager delegate methods not called in background

[Rich86man]

When monitoring a nearable identifier with code such as

`[self.nearableManager startMonitoringForIdentifier:self.nearableIdentifier];``

in the foreground I get entered and exited delegate notifications through these methods

- (void)nearableManager:(ESTNearableManager *)manager didEnterIdentifierRegion:(NSString *)identifier - (void)nearableManager:(ESTNearableManager *)manager didExitIdentifierRegion:(NSString *)identifier

but when my app goes into the background I no longer receive these notifications.

I've tested the same code with a beacon, and I receive the similar ESTBeaconManager monitoring notifications.

Have you enabled the bluetooth-central background mode for your app? Since stickers use a non-iBeacon advertising packet, they require this background mode to keep operating in the background—unlike our regular beacons, which benefit from the iBeacon's built-in, background-monitoring capabilities.

Yes that seems to have done the trick. Thanks!
