Given the TODO status of the iOS background scanning and advertising, I have been looking for a solution to allow for background iOS operations, without the need for the Apple Exposure Notification API (since it is locked to official government use only).

I will deeper into how rn-contact-tracing is currently accessing Bluetooth, as opposed to the NHS app above, and possibly make suggestions/ PR for getting this behaviour into rn-contact-tracing.
