No auto run of watch-apps or widgets. Only CIQ watchfaces will start at boot (if one is your configured watchface)
But watchfaces can use BLE.
How could I build a app which auto-start at boot time or some event, and can communicate with smart phone via BLE?

Overview
Widgets and apps will be able to communicate with a mobile phone via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). The mobile phone may be sharing data with the device, or it may act as a bridge between the app and the Internet. This allows the mobile phone to become part of the wearable web.

This isn't possible right now with Connect IQ apps. We do have some features on the road map that will allow apps to be launched based on a particular event (e.g. launch at app at a particular time of day), but the last I recall, this still will require user interaction to confirm the launch of the app.
Correct. The closest a watch can come to doing comm, isn't that close. All it can do is display the "phoneConnected" status, to show if the watch and the mobile are "connected".
And currently, there is no "background running of CIQ watch-apps and widgets" available. The only time a CIQ widget or watch apps is running is when it's in the foreground (you can see it).

---Could I keep widget running in the foreground all the time, until I close it?
