Can you please try create it on new project:

react-native init tmpProject
yarn add react-native-mauron85-background-geolocation
react-native link react-native-mauron85-background-geolocation

I think this issue comes if you try to compile with com.android.tools.build:gradle 3+. I am also facing this as my project uses both react-native-maps and your plugin. Latest version of react-native-maps wants gradle 3+ but not able to compile. Following is the log of run-android:

mauron85 · 2018-04-11T06:53:12Z

@shashanksinghal this was helpful.
I will try to reproduce with gradle 3+. Till it's fixed you can use older react-native-maps. I'm using version 0.20.1 in example https://github.com/mauron85/react-native-background-geolocation-example/blob/master/package.json.

mauron85 · 2018-04-11T12:15:55Z

Just realized you can already fix this by adding following into root build.gradle

ext {
  buildToolsVersion = "25.0.2"
}

Edit: This will fix probably the warning only and not flavor error.

mauron85 · 2018-04-11T12:26:31Z

What are your version of com.android.tools.build:gradle gradle and buildTools?

I have tried com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.0, gradle-3.5 and buildToolsVersion "25.0.2" and those are working.

shashanksinghal · 2018-04-11T12:35:40Z

In build.gradle:

com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.0

In gradle-wrapper.properties:

distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.4-all.zip

buildToolsVersion 25.0.2 will be ignored anyways as minimum required for gradle plugin 3.1.0 is 27 and gradle plugin 3.0.1 is 26. I tried both but same error

Please also refer Declare flavor dimensions section in Gradle 3 migration

mauron85 · 2018-04-11T13:05:15Z

@shashanksinghal ok I can reproduce it now with those versions.

mauron85 · 2018-04-11T14:13:30Z

After reading Gradle 3 migration and some testing I have bad feeling that making this work on gradle3 will require more work that I expected. Gradle 3 dropped option to specify build flavor via configuration for local modules

// This is the old method and no longer works for local
// library modules:
// debugImplementation project(path: ':library', configuration: 'debug')
// releaseImplementation project(path: ':library', configuration: 'release')

which this plugin is using to create oreo and normal flavors. But will try to finding replacement that would be be still easy to use.

ivosabev · 2018-05-09T12:55:26Z

Any status on this?

kruyvanna · 2018-05-18T03:00:54Z

Try this one
https://github.com/kruyvanna/react-native-background-geolocation

ivosabev · 2018-05-18T07:01:05Z

@kruyvanna Thanks for you work, maybe you can submit it as a pull request here?

kruyvanna · 2018-05-22T02:21:00Z

@ivosabev I regard it as a temporary workaround since I drop support for pre-oreo build. If that's ok with @mauron85 , I can prepare a PR.
@mauron85 what do you think?

mauron85 · 2018-05-25T10:47:10Z

Just published 0.5.0-alpha.31 with experimental gradle3 support.

To enable it you would need to add following into your root build.gradle:

ext {
    compileSdkVersion = 26
    targetSdkVersion = 26
    buildToolsVersion = "27.0.3"
    supportLibVersion = "27.1.0"
    googlePlayServicesVersion = "11.8.0"
    gradle3EXPERIMENTAL = "yes"
}

Add google maven repository maven { url 'https://maven.google.com' } into allprojects -> repositories
Edit android/app/build.gradle

android {
...
    compileSdkVersion 26
    buildToolsVersion "27.0.3"
...
}

mauron85 · 2018-05-25T10:56:43Z

Example project using gradle3 https://github.com/mauron85/react-native-mauron85-background-geolocation-skeleton

mauron85 · 2018-05-25T13:53:07Z

@kruyvanna sorry I somehow missed your comment. Thank you for your effort, but I would like to keep support for preoreo builds and react-native project template defaults.

kruyvanna · 2018-05-26T02:56:16Z

@mauron85 No problem. thanks for the great work :)

equesteo · 2018-06-11T15:06:03Z

@mauron85 I'm not seeing the release 0.5.0-alpha.31, am I missing something?

dengue8830 · 2018-06-14T23:42:57Z

@equesteo i used 0.5.0-alpha.34

duypxd · 2018-06-15T04:36:34Z

@mauron85 @dengue8830 I use react native firebase and React-native-Maps with gralde 4.4, these two libraries are important in my project, and now I want to use them with native native background locations mauron85, but here it does not support 4 .x. This is the problem I encountered!
Your link fix gradle will only 3.x. Is there a better way? thank you 😃

mauron85 · 2018-06-15T08:05:09Z

Your link fix gradle will only 3.x. Is there a better way? thank you

no it should work with gradle4. Actually gradle3 is just tag name for the issue and gradle3 in my experience is not working with Android.

duypxd · 2018-06-15T09:01:08Z

@mauron85 Unfortunately :(

mauron85 · 2018-06-15T19:25:03Z

@xuanduy96 try using skeleton project https://github.com/mauron85/react-native-mauron85-background-geolocation-skeleton It's using gradle 4.

EDIT: Gradle 4.4 to be exact

https://github.com/mauron85/react-native-mauron85-background-geolocation-skeleton/blob/master/android/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties

dengue8830 · 2018-06-16T03:22:15Z

@xuanduy96 im using the same stack,
react-native-maps
react-native-firebase
with gralde 4.4 and works fine

duypxd · 2018-06-17T17:18:43Z

@mauron85 thanks, it worked with gradle 4.4.
But when I add your example code to my app, my app is quitting.

RN-Firebase
RN-Maps
react-native-background-geolocation

duypxd · 2018-06-17T17:21:13Z

@dengue8830 Can you show me the config in the project that you have successfully implemented with:
RN-Maps
RN-Firebase
RN-background-geolocation
???
And you are sure that when adding the example code of these three libraries at the same time it still works normally: D Tks

nguyensythinhk7 · 2018-06-19T10:11:21Z

@mauron85 , @dengue8830 . I install and work ok in gradle 4.4. But when install react-native-firebase v4.2.0 then app crash. I tried doing it again many times but it still does not work. When i run react-native-firebase, no use Background thì it still work.

nguyensythinhk7 · 2018-06-19T10:34:44Z

this dependencies app/build.gralde config

comment all config firebase then Background Work. @dengue8830 can you shgw config dependencies. please, help me.

dengue8830 · 2018-06-19T13:09:29Z

@xuanduy96 @nguyensythinhk7

Sorry for the delay, here is my config:
UPDATE: the post became too long so i put it in this gist. Give it a star if it's useful for you

i'm not fully tested the background location yet, but it sends location to the server on foreground and background mode, i checked that

nguyensythinhk7 · 2018-06-21T02:47:26Z

@dengue8830 thank you ! Although I have tried config according to you but still not. I configed vs gradle and firebase v3, it's work. I thing i should use this version. thank you for enthusiastic support.

rayjadore · 2018-07-05T13:24:20Z

gradle3EXPERIMENTAL = true
this should solve it

mauron85 · 2018-07-16T09:03:53Z

Just small warning. You cannot have both GRADLE3 and OREO support enabled (because react-native build script doesn't support specifying build flavor in command line and gradle3 dropped support for flavors in compile declaration).

Sorry for confusion. I was wrong (even though I wrote the gradle scripts myself). Actually OREO support is automatically enabled with GRADLE3.

rayjadore · 2018-08-26T12:36:11Z

ok thanks for the info

@rewieer check this

@dengue8830 thanks mate, adding gradle3EXPERIMENTAL fixed it for me through

vishal-km · 2019-01-16T13:05:35Z

Fixed by downgrading Gradle from 4.4 and linked again.
Don't know which of this fixed my issue (possibly linking issue).

i have a general purpose skeleton project, you could check the config, run it or use it directly (using react-native-rename project)
