Hi Eder,

Yes, you can use command "startEstimoteBeaconsDiscoveryForRegion"to search for beacons in the background.

Hi again,

I'm sorry for a misleading information I provided you with in the previous comment. I'm afraid, you should not range/scan in the background as it is not allowed by Apple.

Hi, I'm having the same issue.

According to this thread - https://community.estimote.com/hc/communities/public/questions/200458547--Hear-a-beacon-when-app-is-closed-no-background-?locale=en-us - it is possible.

But I'm not really sure how to do it.
Is there any tutorial or sample code?
