'Can iOS app act as beacon, even when it is running in the background?

I need my app to act as a BLE beacon, even when it is in the background. I've already made the beacon part - works fine when I'm using the app.

The problem is I've never made anything run in the background before, and not sure what the limitations are - if I will be allowed to let the app act as a beacon in the background.

Was wondering if this is possible or not (both technically, as well according to App Store rules)

  1. Is this technically possible ? Can my app act as a beacon, even when the app is not in the foreground.
  2. Is it within App Store rules ?

Its not happen as well as documented that iOS app act as beacon during running in the background. You might consider a custom beaconing setup designed or iBeacon App Developers for getting help with the same
