Location does not persist and Failed to find license key in AndroidManifest when app is closed.

[erluxman]

First of all, despite it telling, I had added the licence in Manifest and that licence is paid licence.

.......................

     <meta-data
            android:name="flutterEmbedding"
            android:value="2" />

        <meta-data android:name="com.transistorsoft.locationmanager.license" android:value="8fc2e3f8ef5eeff8d1be62c165bb41d841aa7c6a43e*****907c833727f697d3" />

        <service android:name="com.transistorsoft.locationmanager.service.TrackingService" android:foregroundServiceType="location" />
        <service android:name="com.transistorsoft.locationmanager.service.LocationRequestService" android:foregroundServiceType="location" />

................

When app is in foreground, it gives right activity.Type

But when app is swiped off from recent,

_**1. Location is not recorded to database i.e. BackgroundGeolocation.locations is empty.

2. It says Licence verification failed
3. ‼️ Failed to deduce Application's BuildConfig class for package name:com.greenplayapp or com**_

The complete log is here

background-geolocation.log

I also tried this

[christocracy]

POst the three following files:

• AndroidManifest.xml
• android/build.gradle
• android/app/build.gradle

[erluxman]

I am away from my computer right now, i have posted these files in this issue.

https://github.com/transistorsoft/flutter_background_geolocation/issues/536

Sorry for sending link. I hope this serves the purpose.

[christocracy]

You package-name com.appame in AndroidManifest.xml and android/app/build.gradle do not match any known license keys in your account.

[erluxman]

Sorry Chris, I unfortunately had used generic package name in that issue, i have updated the package name. Please have a look at it again

Its com.greenplayapp

Show me this proguard-rules.pro file you created.

[christocracy]

Dude...is your app named com.twowheelstogo.twtogoadmin??

No it is not.

[erluxman]

Oh so it's not the underlying library that we need to keep untouched.. ?

My bad..

Will change and report back..

[christocracy]

You need to tell the minifier to not touch your own app's BuildConfig, not somebody else's app.

[erluxman]

I changed the proguard-rules.pro into this..

And I also have the licence key in manifest

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

            </intent-filter>
        </activity>

        <meta-data
            android:name="flutterEmbedding"

        <service android:name="com.transistorsoft.locationmanager.service.LocationRequestService" android:foregroundServiceType="location" />
    </application>
</manifest>

On top of that, I changed the log level just to record the location : logLevel: Config.PERSIST_MODE_LOCATION

And still it says licence verification failed.

It doesn't say anywhere ailed to deduce Application's BuildConfig class for package name:com.greenplayapp or com this time but locations are not persisted.
