Xamarin IOS Bluetooth LE advertising

Question

I'm trying to write a Xamarin .IOS app that advertises a BLE service. When another user opens the app, they should be able to see all other users advertising from the same app (even if app is closed).

I'm finding the examples and explanation hard to come by. Currently, I can scan for devices using the CBCentralManager .

How do I go about advertising a service with a specific GUID so I can pick it up from another device?

Any examples or links will be much appreciated!!

You need to refer Core Bluetooth framework. Following is the link :
