wOS8 Issue: Core Bluetooth Delegate No Longer Getting Called When AW App Is In Background

I Implemented the below function

peripheral(peripheral didUpdateValueForCharacteristic:)

Which is where I parse information from a bluetooth device that pairs with our app. Ever since wOS8 our app stops receiving these call when the app is put in the background. Why is that, and does anyone have a possible workaround?

Thanks

To answer my own question, this issue was resolved by going to the Plist for the Watch Extension (important that it is the extension), and adding the item "App communicates using CoreBluetooth" to Required background modes.
