I think before that worked, I am on ios 15. I did not check on iOS14, but on iOS 13 the scan worked when the screen was off, I just did not have access to advertisement data

In order to get bluetooth events in the background, you need to make sure your Info.plist declares this:

        <key>UIBackgroundModes</key>
        <array>
           <string>bluetooth-central</string>
        </array>

If that is not present, you absolutely will not get callbacks to didDiscoverPeripheral in the background.
