Does anyone know if I can scan for peripherals in background using Core Bluetooth without filtering for services? In my case, the peripheral that I'm trying to scan does not have any services. I have the 'bluetooth-central' permission in my Info.plist. Thanks

Simple answer; you can't. You need to specify a service when scanning in the background. It is quite unusual for a peripheral to advertise without advertising a service. What is it advertising?

It is advertising information like temperature and battery level and a status flag. The problem is that whoever programmed the sensor's bluetooth advertise that data in the name. So what I have to (at least the android version does it like this) is to extract the information from the name. So no services.

So then no background discovery, sorry.
