Hi all,

I'm working on a bluetooth beacon. I made a beacon monitor for the mac, and I receive my iOS beacons when they are nearby.

However, it only works when the app is in foreground.
I would like to have it working in the background.

I already set the Background Modes in the 'Capabilities' to
Uses Bluetooth LE accessories
and
Acts as a Bluetooth LE accesory

In the info.plist I have
Required background modes:
- App communicates using CoreBluetooth
- App shares data using CoreBluetooth

However when the app is in background, it stops sending right away.

Any advice ?
