Virtual Beacon in background? #80

Open Tobbyte opened 9 years ago

Tobbyte commented 9 years ago

Is it possible for an app with this plugin to advertise as beacon even when the app is in background? Technically it should be possible as stated here (http://stackoverflow.com/a/19941436):

"Standard CoreBluetooth advertisements can broadcast while the app is in the background, but not if they were started with CLBeaconRegion dictionary. The workaround is to ditch CoreLocation framework altogether and create your own proximity "framework" using only CoreBlueTooth."

Is this already possible with your app? Advertising in foreground works like a charme, but it stops in background. Maybe (hopefully) just anything I miss?
