We are evaluating the new behavior mentioned in the Nearby Interaction documentation for iOS 18.4+, which states:
“In iOS 18.4 and later, your app can continue ranging in the background with any supported device if the app starts a Live Activity as it goes to the background."
Could you clarify what situations are considered “can continue ranging” versus cases where it will not continue?
Specifically, if my app:
starts a NISession in the foreground
starts a Live Activity with that data
then the app goes to background
should the NI session still deliver ranging updates so the app can update the Live Activity?
also, my app already enable Background Modes capability
