Vector 3 iOS 13 and Edge connectivity

Hey there

i’ve Noticed a bug that I am able to reproduce consistently with the new iPhone 11 Pro running the latest iOS 13

if I am connected on garmin connect iOS mobile to my Vector 3 double sided power meter through Bluetooth, I will be unable to connect my Vector 3s to my Edge 530 either through ANT or Bluetooth

If I disable my phone connection do Bluetooth to the Vector 3s, ANT or Bluetooth on the Vectors now will be able to connect to the Edge 530

Something doesn't make sense to me. I can see Bluetooth interfering with each other but Ant+ should not matter.

I will try it at home and see. I have my V3 connected to my 1030 though ant+ only. I will report back later as long as I dont forget.

Same issue with vector 3 and iOS 13. The light is red and green intermittent flashing when open Garmin Connect App. And my Garmin 520 lose connect to vector. The light means firmware update. But there's no firmware to update. I think this may be Connect App bug or vector firmware bug when checking firmware.

There are 2 workarounds so far.

1. Delete vector 3 device in Connect app and delete bluetooth device in iOS.

2. Disable iOS bluetooth.

Because I have a Garmin 945 watch connected to iPhone. So I can not disable bluetooth. I choose first option.
