React-native-background-geolocation: Cannot read property 'configure' of undefined

Created on 19 Jun 2017 · 10Comments · Source: mauron85/react-native-background-geolocation

Did a fresh install into my project. This error only occurs to iOS.

RN Version: 0.44.0

I followed the official guide and include the snippet below into my componentWillMount() but iOS simulator complains.

Any idea? The library is correctly linked.

BackgroundGeolocation.configure({
      desiredAccuracy: 0,
      stationaryRadius: 0,
      distanceFilter: 0,
      debug: false,
      startOnBoot: false,
      startForeground: true,
      stopOnTerminate: false,
      locationProvider:
        BackgroundGeolocation.provider.ANDROID_ACTIVITY_PROVIDER,
      saveBatteryOnBackground: false,
      interval: 1000,
      fastestInterval: 1000,
      activitiesInterval: 100,
      stopOnStillActivity: false,
      activityType: "Fitness",
      maxLocations: 0,
      syncThreshold: 0
    });

In my case, it is due to linking the wrong binary. Make sure it is libRCTBackgroundGeolocation.a and not libBackgroundGeolocation.a.

I have the same issue, did you find out the solution?

@Vetalyo Just found out that the libsqlite3.tbd was not included. It is working now but some methods like getLocations() and a few others are not working for iOS. Just found out that some of the methods have not implemented. --> #18

Yep, usually this kind of errors means the plugin was not installed correctly

hello same for me,
if someone have a work around (an "how to" for beginner), could be really great :-)

thx in advance

Previous messages were correct. This is simply due to failed integration with native Android layer (missing Gradle changes, source code changes, etc)

I have this issue on Android. I am new to react native and I have no idea what to do to get this working.

I don't know what the poster above means when he says
