Hello,

We are a company working on Ultra Wideband solutions and, hence, using Apple's NearbyInteraction framework to establish UWB Ranging sessions with our UWB-enabled third-party accessory.

This week we were excited about the new background UWB Ranging session possibility, which opens new use cases. The wwdc2022 10008 video that provides the technical details for this feature indicates that the third-party accessory is responsible to expose the Nearby Interaction GATT Server. We don't manage to get full details about what needs to be implemented to by compliant with Apple's framework.

The URL below indicates that full BLE details should be explained in the "Nearby Interaction Accessory Protocol Specification" but we don't see any info there.

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/nearbyinteraction/ninearbyaccessoryconfiguration https://developer.apple.com/nearby-interaction/specification/

Can someone indicate us where the find full details for this background Nearby Interaction feature?

Thanks in advance. Regards.

Hi Gorka

Any progress can you share for your background nearby interaction? I am now start to working on it, but I am not so understand as document state that "The Nearby Interaction service is not discoverable by iOS apps directly" but what characteristic should I pass in for the function (Apps side) triggerPairing ( peripheral: peripheral, encryptedCharacteristics: CBCharacteristics)

do you have anything to share?

Thanks in advance
