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
