WiFi *and* BLE

The ESP32 can do both WiFi and BLE, using a single antenna. But I'm having trouble finding out whether it is possible to use both at the same time. Is the ESP32 a "WiFi+BLE" chip, or an "either WiFi or BLE" chip?
By "at the same time" I mean something like doing both SoftAP and BLE beacon broadcasts.
This should theoretically be possible, but in practice depends on a lot of things (radio frontends, amplifier design, SDK capabilities, etc).

Yes, the plan is to support both at the same time.

The chip will switch between WiFi and Bluetooth very quickly so it will appear to be simultaneous.

Hi guys,
sry to bump up this old post, but as i have a similar question, so i thought i'd ask here
https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/issues/2619
Is this issue indicating that BLE and softAP co existence does not work ? If so, what are the plans to make it work ?
If it already works, are there any examples that show the possibility of making both work at the same time ? thx
