@lrcampos97 By looking at your plugins/cordova-plugin-background-geolocation/package.json I can see the wrong plugin has been installed: cordova-plugin-background-geolocation instead of @mauron85/cordova-plugin-background-geolocation.

Try this:

  1. Remove your android platform: $ cordova platform rm android
  2. Delete your plugins folder
  3. Remove your current (wrong) plugin: $ cordova plugin rm cordova-plugin-background-geolocation
  4. Add the correct plugin: $ cordova plugin add @mauron85/cordova-plugin-background-geolocation
  5. Re-add your android platform: $ cordova platform add android

If everything goes right, you should see in your package.json this:

// package.json
{
  "cordova": {
     "plugins": {
       "@mauron85/cordova-plugin-background-geolocation": {  // <-- this has '@mauron85/'
         // ...
        }
     },
  }

And your plugins/cordova-plugin-background-geolocation/package.json should show:

// plugins/../package.json
{
  "_from": "@mauron85/[email protected]",
  // ...
}

Hello! Thanks for using Ionic! Are you using ionic-native when you get this error?

_From @DaniloCouto on July 1, 2016 13:32_

Hello,
Yes, I'm using ionic-native.

I'm building a provider to call BackgroundGeolocation.
import {BackgroundGeolocation} from 'ionic-native';

Other plugins like Geolocation works great.

Thanks for answering,

jgw96 picture jgw96 on 1 Jul 2016

Ahh ok, thanks! Since this is an ionic native issue i am going to move this issue to the Ionic-Native repo. Thanks for using Ionic!

jgw96 picture jgw96 on 1 Jul 2016

Same platform, same versions, same problem here!

nkalinov picture nkalinov on 3 Jul 2016

Me too!.. Having the same issue using ionic-native. I have switched to using the "window.backgroundGeolocation" method...

nikiben picture nikiben on 7 Jul 2016

I'm having same problem using ionic-native from ionic 2 beta 10. Someone knows how to fix it or another way to implement background geolocation?

redrain87 picture redrain87 on 7 Jul 2016

I'm getting the warning as well, any workaround? on iOS however

AVatch picture AVatch on 8 Jul 2016

@AVatch I think you'll just have to use it the javascript way for now until resolve..
this works for android and iOS

` declare var window: any; //put this after imports

initBackgroundGeo2(isActivate) {
    this.platform.ready().then(() => {
        let config = {
            desiredAccuracy: 10,
            stationaryRadius: 20,
            distanceFilter: 30,
            debug: true,
            stopOnTerminate: false
            // interval: 30 * 60 * 1000    //30 min
        }

        var callbackFn = function(location){
            console.log('Location => ' + location.latitude + ',' + location.longitude);

            window.backgroundGeolocation.finish();
        }

        var errorFn = function(error) {
            console.log('BackgroundGeolocation error');
        }

        window.backgroundGeolocation.configure(callbackFn, errorFn, config);
        if(isActivate=="true"){
            window.backgroundGeolocation.start();
        }
        else{
            window.backgroundGeolocation.stop();
        }
    });
}`

Mm is possible to use that way on Ionic 2 Beta 10 with only support to TS ?

redrain87 picture redrain87 on 11 Jul 2016

TS is a superset of JavaScript, so you can use JavaScript anywhere in your code.
I'm on ionic 2 beta 10 and it works like a charm for me.

Should be fixed now.

The plugin not installed error happens when ionic-native fails to find the pluginRef provided in the wrapper definition. The pluginRef was set to plugins.backgroundGeoLocation instead of backgroundGeolocation

any updates here?

The problem seems to pseudo-fix if you call the functions from within app.component.ts instead of from a service, just as stated on the Setup Guide:

BackgroundGeolocation must be called within app.ts and or before Geolocation. Otherwise...

This seems weird to me, it should be able to work from any class or service.

RaschidJFR picture RaschidJFR on 19 Nov 2019

The problem keeps coming back when pulling the repo. As pointed in mauron85/cordova-plugin-background-geolocation#613, the problem seems to be that the scoped package @mauron85/cordova-plugin-background-geolocation is installed correctly the first time on a local machine but added to package.json as cordova-plugin-background-geolocation. So the next time the repo is pulled it will install the wrong package (you can verify this by looking at plugins/cordova-plugin-background-geolocation/package.json).

What's working for me so far is adding the plugin directly in package.json (@maruon85/cordova-...) so the correct plugin gets installed after adding or preparing the platform. However, the "incorrect" plugin keeps being added to the package.json but it doesn't seem to interfere anymore (a hook script may be needed to prevent this?).

// package.json
{
  "@mauron85/cordova-plugin-background-geolocation": "^3.1.0",
  "cordova": {
    "plugins": {
      "@mauron85/cordova-plugin-background-geolocation": {}
    }
  }
}

Then the "plugin not installed" message keeps showing but it's just a warning and the plugin seems to be working ok.

I have only @mauron85 plugin in my package.json still i am getting error on this.backgroundGeolocation.finish(); plugin not installed.

aliexalter picture aliexalter on 3 Jun 2020

@aliexalter Your root package.json seems ok. Try this:

  1. Check plugins/cordova-plugin-background-geolocation/package.json, it should look something like this:

    {
  "name": "@mauron85/cordova-plugin-background-geolocation",  // <- Please note the '@mauron85/' part
  "version": "3.1.0",
  // ...
}

  2. Make sure you are calling the plugin after the platform has been initialized: Platform.ready().then(() => /* Call here the plugin functions */ ));

  3. Check that the "plugin not installed" message is not just a warning. I never really goes away, but it will be warning-level instead of error-level.

How I can solve it?

@lrcampos97 By looking at your plugins/cordova-plugin-background-geolocation/package.json I can see the wrong plugin has been installed: cordova-plugin-background-geolocation instead of @mauron85/cordova-plugin-background-geolocation.

Try this:

  1. Remove your android platform: $ cordova platform rm android
  2. Delete your plugins folder
  3. Remove your current (wrong) plugin: $ cordova plugin rm cordova-plugin-background-geolocation
  4. Add the correct plugin: $ cordova plugin add @mauron85/cordova-plugin-background-geolocation
  5. Re-add your android platform: $ cordova platform add android

If everything goes right, you should see in your package.json this:

// package.json
{
  "cordova": {
     "plugins": {
       "@mauron85/cordova-plugin-background-geolocation": {  // <-- this has '@mauron85/'
         // ...
        }
     },
  }

And your plugins/cordova-plugin-background-geolocation/package.json should show:

// plugins/../package.json
{
  "_from": "@mauron85/[email protected]",
  // ...
}

@RaschidJFR Thank you for your response, this worked for me with a small change.

So, I did all steps that you told. And one thing was different in my packge.json

// package.json
{
  "cordova": {
     "plugins": {
       "cordova-plugin-background-geolocation": {} // <-- after all steps this continued like this
     },
  }

Then, I just manually change for your example and the problem was resolved

This plugin has other strong problems with Ionic, for example, this one #678 , that I need always create the folder mipmap :(

Glad it helped. Check this other thread mauron85/cordova-plugin-background-geolocation#686, maybe that's the issue you're talking about.
