BackgroundGeolocation.getCurrentPosition persistence does not write back to configured Firebase location

chris-eaheart commented 1 month ago

Your Environment

Plugin version: 4.16.0 Platform: Android OS version: 14 Device manufacturer / model: Pixel 7a React Native version (react-native -v): 0.73.2 Plugin config

BackgroundGeolocationFirebase.configure({
            locationsCollection: `users/${storedPhoneNumber}/locations`,
        });

        // subscribe to events
        const onLocation = BackgroundGeolocation.onLocation((location) => {
            console.log('onLocation invoked:', location.is_moving);
        });

        const subscription = BackgroundGeolocation.onHeartbeat((event) => {
            BackgroundGeolocation.getCurrentPosition({
              samples: 1,
              persist: true
            }).then((location) => {
              //console.log("[getCurrentPosition] ", location);
            });
          })

        // ready the plugin
        BackgroundGeolocation.ready({
            desiredAccuracy: BackgroundGeolocation.DESIRED_ACCURACY_HIGH,
            stationaryRadius: 25,
            heartbeatInterval: 60,
            preventSuspend: true,
            distanceFilter: 10,
            stopTimeout: 1,           // Activity Recognition
            stopOnTerminate: false,   // Application config: Allow the background-service to continue tracking when user closes the app.
            startOnBoot: true,        // Application config: Auto start tracking when device is powered-up.

            // Debugging options
            debug: true,
        })
        .then((state) => {
            BackgroundGeolocation.start();
        })
        .catch(err => {
            console.error('Failed to start location services:', err);
            crashlytics().recordError(err);
        });

Expected Behavior

BackgroundGeolocation.getCurrentPosition, with persist set to true, should write to the configured firebase location, as the firebase plugin overrides the SQLLite service.

Actual Behavior

The location document is not being written. The event is firing because I have debug set to true, and I hear the sound. The location documents are being written to firebase otherwise - it's just not working from getCurrentPosition

Are you watching your adb logcat logs in real-time?

I spent some time trying to get anything that might be useful - this is all that I'm seeing (I added logging statements to ensure that the events were firing)

I see that - and I see the records going to firestore now. They weren't before. I'll have to dig into it more - it's behaving differently now, and the only code I changed was to add logging statements.

Logs don’t affect performance, just like walking under ladders doesn’t bring bad luck. That’s superstition.
