Expected Behavior

BUILD SUCCESS

Actual Behavior

BUILD FAILED

Possible Fix

2. cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-background-geolocation
3. cordova platform add android@latest
4. cordova run

Context

BUILD FAILING

Debug logs

This is line 2 of the file authenticator.xml

account-authenticator android:accountType="@string/mauron85_bgloc_account_type" android:icon="@mipmap/icon" android:label="@string/app_name" android:smallIcon="@mipmap/icon" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

I have the exact same problem, had to downgrade target api version.

[baversjo]

On newer API versions, you need to set SMALL_ICON and ICON to @mipmap/ic_launcher in both package.json and config.xml
After that I had to recreate the android platform for it to "take". cordova platform remove android && cordova platform add android.

[baversjo]

@mauron85 looks like you may have to make the default icon path dynamic depending on what sdk version / cordova version you're compiling to, on API level 26 and cordova-android 8.0.0 the path has changed from icon to ic_launcher it seems.

[Amsvartner]

This happened to me as well. For me, I had added the platform android@latest to my Cordova 8.1.2 project. I removed the android platform and added it again without appending @latest, which solved the problem for me.

@baversjo
I did change the variables to ic_launcher but this leads me to this error:
#558

Do you had the same problem with the junit.framework?

It has definetly have something to do with the app icon. Changing not from @mipmap/icon to @mipmap/ic_launcher causes the error, that icon not found. changing from icon to ic_launcher cauces that junit.framework couldn't be found..

add in file -- platforms/android/cordova-plugin-mauron85-background-geolocation/rep-dependencies.gradle
the string
compile 'junit:junit:4.12'
after dependencies {

Unfortunately it doesn't work.

I got some other errors preventing the build:

[DannyRidgway]

I have the same issue too. Going to roll-back to cordova 7.1.1 until this is fixed.

[henkkelder]

In my case the @mipmap/icon problem was solved by following the instructions in this example:
https://github.com/oliviercherrier/mauron85-background-geolocation-example-ionic2
See the text below 'Mimap icon missing'.

[TomDemulierChevret]

This is not a good practice, you should not edit manually the content of platform folders since they can be recreated at some point (for exemple in a CI environnment).

Switching from @mipmap/icon to @mipmap/ic_launcher in your package.json and config.xml should be solution with the 3.0.0 release (don't forget to reinstall platforms and plugins).

[henkkelder]

Agree, actually I added the following to my config.xml:
<resource-file src="assets/ic_launcher.png" target="app/src/main/res/mipmap/icon.png" />

[globules-io]

Reusing the "main" icon here

<icon src="res/icons/icon.png" />
<resource-file src="res/icons/icon.png" target="app/src/main/res/mipmap/icon.png" />

[UTSOURCE]

@delacuestajs
Have you solved this problem? How to solve the problem, please tell me, thank you!!! I also have this problem.

[ellecito]

Agree, actually I added the following to my config.xml:
<resource-file src="assets/ic_launcher.png" target="app/src/main/res/mipmap/icon.png" />

This works for me, thanks!

[ioclaudio]

I have the same problem with:

• "cordova-plugin-mauron85-background-geolocation": "^2.3.6",
• cordova --version: 9.0.0 ([email protected])
• Cordova Platforms : android 8.0.0
• ionic (Ionic CLI) : 4.12.0
• OS: Windows 10

Agree, actually I added the following to my config.xml:
<resource-file src="assets/ic_launcher.png" target="app/src/main/res/mipmap/icon.png" />
where to add this line

[geoox]

Agree, actually I added the following to my config.xml:
<resource-file src="assets/ic_launcher.png" target="app/src/main/res/mipmap/icon.png" />

Actually for me to work I had to modify it to
<resource-file src="SRC/assets/ic_launcher.png" target="app/src/main/res/mipmap/icon.png" />

and to manually copy a 'ic_launcher.png' resource from the path: platforms/android/app/src/main/res/mipmap-xxhdpi' to the folder: src/assets

[henkkelder]

I think the solution lies just in a correct declaration in config.xml:

<plugin name="@mauron85/cordova-plugin-background-geolocation" spec="3.0.3">
    <variable name="GOOGLE_PLAY_SERVICES_VERSION" value="11.6.2" />
    <variable name="ANDROID_SUPPORT_LIBRARY_VERSION" value="26+" />
    <variable name="ICON" value="@mipmap/icon" />
    <variable name="SMALL_ICON" value="@mipmap/icon" />
    <variable name="ACCOUNT_NAME" value="@string/app_name" />
    <variable name="ACCOUNT_LABEL" value="@string/app_name" />
    <variable name="ACCOUNT_TYPE" value="$PACKAGE_NAME.account" />
    <variable name="CONTENT_AUTHORITY" value="$PACKAGE_NAME" />
    <variable name="ALWAYS_USAGE_DESCRIPTION" value="Om de drukte het op terrein te kunnen monitoren" />
    <variable name="MOTION_USAGE_DESCRIPTION" value="Om de drukte het op terrein te kunnen monitoren" />
</plugin>

I think the solution lies just in a correct declaration in config.xml:

I've the same configuration, but the error is the same:

`Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugResources'.

Android resource linking failed
C:\xxxxxplatforms\android\app\src\main\res\xml\authenticator.xml:2: AAPT: error: resource mipmap/icon (aka com.bitmobility.app:mipmap/icon) not found.

error: failed linking file resources.`

crie pasta "mipmap" platforms\android\app\src\main\res\mipmap coloque seu icon na pasta "icon.png" pronto resolvido

create folder "mipmap" platforms\android\app\src\main\res\mipmap place your icon in the "icon.png" folder ready resolved

[ITKing80]

this issue happens on cordova andoird 8
Downgrade your cordova android to 7. On my machine, it's fixed.

cordova platform remove android
cordova platform add android@^7

[tamsel12]

Without downgrading the cordova android version is there any possible solution to fix this issue ?

[TomDemulierChevret]

This declaration :

    <plugin name="@mauron85/cordova-plugin-background-geolocation" spec="3.0.3">
        <variable name="GOOGLE_PLAY_SERVICES_VERSION" value="11+" />
        <variable name="ANDROID_SUPPORT_LIBRARY_VERSION" value="26+" />
        <variable name="ICON" value="@mipmap/ic_launcher" />
        <variable name="SMALL_ICON" value="@mipmap/ic_launcher" />
        <variable name="ACCOUNT_NAME" value="@string/app_name" />
        <variable name="ACCOUNT_LABEL" value="@string/app_name" />
        <variable name="ACCOUNT_TYPE" value="$PACKAGE_NAME.account" />
        <variable name="CONTENT_AUTHORITY" value="$PACKAGE_NAME" />
    </plugin>

Works for me with :

• cordova 8.1.2
• cordova-android 8.0.0
• cordova-ios 5.0.0
• ionic cli 4.12.0

I don't have the ALWAYS_USAGE_DESCRIPTION and MOTION_USAGE_DESCRIPTION keys because I handle iOS permission messages differently but you should include them too.

[PimentLajiao]

Unfortunatly, this declaration didn't work for me.

I finally, succeeded to build my app by duplicating and renaming all images "ic_launcher.png" to "icon.png" in "platforms/android/app/src/res/mipmap-*" folders.

Just add below line to config.xml (inside <platform name="android"> tag)
This will reuse the pre-generated icon.

<resource-file src="resources/android/icon/drawable-xxxhdpi-icon.png" target="app/src/main/res/mipmap/icon.png" />

Thanks, after two days I have managed to solve it with this.

For anyone who's interested, we are rallying contributors around a new fork.
I've just opened a new issue to solve this one, I believe the only problem here was the default value which needed to be changed.
https://github.com/HaylLtd/cordova-background-geolocation-plugin/issues/23
Feel free to move discussions, issues and feature requests there.
We'll try to do our best to keep this new fork maintained, any help would be appreciated. :-)
