7 years ago I'm not sure why the automatic linking process didn't work for you. Just tried on a clean project (also on Windows) with no issues. You can carry out the Android installation steps manually though, there's not much to change:
And after that's done, you'll also need to do the manual step specified in the readme:
All the errors you pasted look like they're just because the linking wasn't fully completed.
Hi I am trying to link the plugin but it keeps failing and giving me this error. I have installed these versions of the plugns "react-native-background-fetch": "^2.0.8", "react-native-background-task": "^0.2.0",
react-native link react-native-background-task Scanning 739 folders for symlinks in abcd\nodemodules (52ms) rnpm-install info Linking react-native-background-task android dependency rnpm-install info Android module react-native-background-task has been successfully linked rnpm-install info Linking assets to ios project rnpm-install ERR! Something went wrong while linking. Error: Expected "/ Begin ", "/ End ", "\"", or [A-Za-z0-9.] but "<" found. Please file an issue here: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues

Also i am getting these errors when i build the code after wrapping up the linking

Can you suggest a method to sort this issue out?
