  "plugins": [

• [
• "react-native-background-geolocation", {
• "license": "YOUR_LICENSE_KEY_HERE"
• }
• ],
• [
• "expo-gradle-ext-vars", {
• "googlePlayServicesLocationVersion": "20.0.0",
• "appCompatVersion": "1.4.2"
• }
• ],
• "react-native-background-fetch" ]

Expected Behavior

We expected to run the expo example shown on github

Actual Behavior

the interface is displayed but a warning is displayed: WARN - BackgroundGeolocation error: [TypeError: null is not an object (evaluating 'RNBackgroundGeolocation.stop')] WARN - BackgroundGeolocation error en ready: [TypeError: null is not an object (evaluating 'RNBackgroundGeolocation.ready')]

Steps to Reproduce

1.plugin installation with expo 2.expo setup in app.json (https://github.com/transistorsoft/react-native-background-geolocation/blob/master/help/INSTALL-EXPO.md)

3. Configure our license
4. Follow the tutorial (https://github.com/transistorsoft/react-native-background-geolocation)

Context

we pay for the license and wanting to test with the tutorial but it doesn't work

Debug logs

Logs

``` WARN - BackgroundGeolocation error: [TypeError: null is not an object (evaluating 'RNBackgroundGeolocation.stop')] WARN - BackgroundGeolocation error en ready: [TypeError: null is not an object (evaluating 'RNBackgroundGeolocation.ready')] ```

I have no idea what is wrong. Have you tried building locally?

[miguelmhz]

Do you mean build it natively without expo? We have considered it but all our application is over expo and we use many dependencies of it 👎

[christocracy]

No, I mean build locally with Expo. As a simple test.

[miguelmhz]

okay let me try that, thanks

[miguelmhz]

unfortunately we tried to build and show this

[christocracy]

I suspect that whatever is preventing your app from building locally is preventing the plug-in from working.

I suggest you continue on with figuring out your local build problems.
