Hello Apple,
We are in the process of developing Minder app for obVus (https://www.obvus.me/) which focuses on developing user-friendly products to change behavior and condition healthy habits.
Minder app (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/minder/id1437980397) allows you to check in with how you are feeling throughout the day. Minder tracks healthy posture stats, wear time, steps, mindful minutes, heart rate, goal, and Me/Mo progress which are all visualized on our intuitive, user-friendly dashboard. Minder syncs to Apple Health to keep all your vital health data in one place.
We are using Apple Watch and Airpods as wearable devices to track postures. We would like to incorporate Airpod posture tracking when Minder app goes to background!
Our team did research and we found that Air pods automatically get disconnected when we put the app to background by its default behaviour. We are automatically reconnecting it when we launch the minder app to foreground.
There are only limited number of background execution modes our app can support that enable it to run when in the background, such as playing audio, receiving location updates, or processing scheduled tasks etc. Here is the apple reference doc for the background services that our iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Apple TV apps require to continue executing in the background: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/configuring-background-execution-modes
In the case of Apple Watch, this is possible since the minder app uses a workout session to track a user’s activity on Apple Watch but such mechanism is not available in AirPods
Can you please help us on this? Is there any mechanism to track user’s postures by using Aipods as sensors while the app goes on background . Can you please guide us so that we can incorporate Airpod posture tracking when our Minder app goes to background.
Awaiting for your early response.
Thanks,

Hi,
I am implementing tracking posture of head using CMHeadphoneMotionManager. I am getting gyro data in foreground mode but when app move to Foreground then gyro data stop working.
Can anyone suggest me how to achieve gyro data in background.
Does apple support screen mirroring of the specific app screen on the Mac Desktop
Does iWatch data (ex: HR, steps etc.) being synced with the Mac.
why not all users receive the same Apple and iWatch OS upgrade notifications
