Auto unlock with iOS

Hi, i am actually working on a smart lock and i want to implement an Automatic Unlock. This functionnality can be really useful, because the door unlock even if your smartphone is in your pocket.

On my smart lock, using the NRF52832 (S132), i have a push button outside my door. When I press the button the advertsing packet is updated: 1 byte is updated from 0x00 to 0x01 during 20 seconds then return to 0x00. The NRF52 send an adverting packet every 600ms.

I am actually able, only with android, to scan every seconds and unlock my door if the advertising packet has changed even if my app is closed, this service is running in backgroud. (The power consumption is really high ~40mA according to my smartphone, but it's not a problem).

But my problem is with iOS where it's a pain to get this service running in background with no possibility to scan if the screen is lock, and it's worst if the app isn't launched...

So is there a smarter solution for this problem (use my smartlock as a beacon, proximity detection...) or i must resign and forget this option for my product.

Thanks you !
