Not working on Android 8.0 #34

Closed stnmonroe closed 6 years ago

First of all, thanks for sharing this amazing package. I have been running this package successfully on Android 7.0 for months now. Then I tested it on two different Android 8.0 devices (Pixel & Xperia) and the background tasks don't execute. Here's what the logcat looks like:

04-24 20:56:14.959 1470 1470 D BackgroundTask: Setting foreground true 04-24 20:56:17.880 1470 1470 D BackgroundTask: Setting foreground false 04-24 20:56:17.881 1470 1470 D BackgroundTask: Committing job schedule 04-24 20:56:20.001 1470 1470 D ReactNative: ReactInstanceManager.detachViewFromInstance() 04-24 21:04:09.176 2563 2592 D BackgroundTask: Job is running

It does not move on from this point. I've tested it many times for up to several days in length.

Apparently this package is not the issue I'm facing. It looks to be with react-native-push-notifications

I'm having the same issue. It's stuck at Job is running and the app is also using Firebase notification

stnmonroe commented 6 years ago

In my research, I found that "Job is running" is okay and means it's functioning properly, and that changing the target sdk from 26 to 25 fixed the situation for me (for react-native-push-notifications). That being said, Android is requiring all apps to target 26 or higher, and I don't know what my next move will be for this problem.

Did anyone find out how to move past sdk 26?
