Is bluetooth available in a "locked screen" camera capture extension?

I created a locked camera capture extension as explained in Apple's documentation.

I'm trying to explore the possibilities of using a bluetooth peripheral from that extension - anybody knows if this is possible?

The CBCentralManagerDelegate reports .unsupported in func centralManagerDidUpdateState, even if I have provided all the permissions in Info.plist.

Locked Screen camera extension is highly limited in what resources it can access. While Bluetooth is not explicitly documented as restricted, accessing the network and therefore accessing Bluetooth/WiFi connected cameras being restricted is understood.

If you have a use case that justifies using Bluetooth in this extension in a way that will not compromise user security and privacy, you are welcome to file a Feedback report explaining your use case and how this would benefit the users for the teams to consider.
