Communication conflict with flutter_background_service library.

[gkois]

I would like to initially thank you for your excellent library.

In a project I am involved in, we want to use your library together with the flutter_background_service library.
We noticed that when the flutter background service is started, polar connects but never responds when calling

polar.sdkFeatureReady.firstWhere(...)

Attached bellow is a public repo with a sample project displaying the issue.

If you can provide any insight on what could be the problem, it would be of great help.

Thank you in advance.

Hi! I faced the same issue! It would be perfect if we can find a solution! :)

What platform are you running on?

[gkois]

We are developing on Android 12.

I think the flutter_background_service isn't well supported so we've used the foreground service from flutter_local_notifications: https://github.com/MaikuB/flutter_local_notifications/blob/5375645b01c845998606b58a3d97b278c5b2cefa/flutter_local_notifications/example/lib/main.dart#L2415

We have had no issues running the polar plugin along side it.

Thanx for the recommendation. We will try flutter_local_notifications and I will come back with update if it works.

@gkois any luck?

[gkois]

@Rexios80 we managed to get it working on a demo app.
we are in the process of incorporating it to the main app.

thank you for your help.
