Question
Hello, good afternoon.
Can React Native BLE PLX perform device scans in the background, even if the device screen is off?
My intention is to configure a foreground service that calls liberia to scan devices every 30 seconds.
I was able to configure the foreground services but it happens to me that when I lock the cell phone the library stops scanning devices, I see the js code of my live app but I don't see devices, this is a limitation of the liberia or is it the operating system that does not allow doing Does it still scan when the screen is locked?

const backgroundTask = async (taskDataArguments) => {
const { delay } = taskDataArguments;
while (BackgroundService.isRunning()) {
await scanForDevice();
await sleep(delay - 7000); // Esperar el tiempo restante para completar 30 segundos
}
};
const scanForDevice = async () => {
const permissionsGranted = await requestPermissions();
if (!permissionsGranted) {
console.log("No se otorgaron los permisos necesarios");
return;
}
console.log("INICIANDO ESCANEO");
bleManager.stopDeviceScan();
bleManager.startDeviceScan(null, null, (error, device) => {
if (error) {
console.error("Error en el escaneo:", error);
return;
}
console.log(device.name);
if (
device.name === "W6" &&
device.serviceData &&
device.serviceData["0000feab-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb"]
) {
console.log("LO ENCONTRÉ");
console.log("Detalles del dispositivo:", device);
Alert.alert("PANICO DETECTADO");
bleManager.stopDeviceScan();
}
});
// Detener el escaneo después de 30 segundos
await sleep(7000);
bleManager.stopDeviceScan();
console.log("Escaneo Bluetooth detenido");
