iOS Background BLE advertising not detectable by Android

Answer 1

With "overflow" area I guess they mean Scan Response Data. To get that data, a device must perform an active scan, rather than a passive scan. In an active scan, the scanner sends a scan request packet immediately after it detects an advertisement packet. The advertising device will only broadcast the scan response data if it detected a scan request.

Android devices only perform active scans, so you should be fine.
