Is there a way to indefinitely run a background task forever?

I know that might be a bad practice, but I have my use case with BLE where I am scanning and logging devices I find (for contact tracing, #covid-19) and I need this to run continuously even when app is in background.

When I run this code in iPhonne XR with OS 14.4 the background remaining time always shows 30seconds.I never saw more than 30seconds.In your video I saw 180 seconds.Not sure why.Is this expected in latest OS? Can you confirm?

I have seen apple forums about this.Most of the discussion says that 30seconds is max time they could see.
Iā€™m trying to implement in my app but 30 seconds are too less for my app to complete task
