could not invoke backgroundgeolocation.start

[Muneeb1998]

I faced this issue when I import the background geolocation library and RN Google Maps library. Both work fine separtely

here is my build.gradle

`// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.

buildscript { ext { buildToolsVersion = "30.0.2" minSdkVersion = 21 compileSdkVersion = 30 targetSdkVersion = 30 ndkVersion = "21.4.7075529" googlePlayServicesVersion = "11.8.0" gradle3EXPERIMENTAL = "yes" } repositories { google() mavenCentral() } dependencies { classpath("com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.2.2") // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong // in the individual module build.gradle files } }

allprojects { repositories { mavenCentral() mavenLocal() maven { // All of React Native (JS, Obj-C sources, Android binaries) is installed from npm url("$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android") } maven { // Android JSC is installed from npm url("$rootDir/../node_modules/jsc-android/dist") }
