[mauron85]

Seems they removed link patches. Need to adjust plugin accordingly.

Hi, @itslooklike, if you follow the manually steps, you won't have this problem.

At settings.gradle, on android folder, I just add:

include ':@mauron85_react-native-background-geolocation-common'
project(':@mauron85_react-native-background-geolocation-common').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/@mauron85/react-native-background-geolocation/android/common')
include ':@mauron85_react-native-background-geolocation'
project(':@mauron85_react-native-background-geolocation').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/@mauron85/react-native-background-geolocation/android/lib')

And solve this problem.

I guess this cause is the following changes:

The CLI tools have been moved to a new repository,

https://facebook.github.io/react-native/blog/#cli-improvements

If we make the import repository to '@react-native-community/cli/build/commands/link/android/patches', we will success the 'react-native link' command.

[mantaroh]

I sent the patch (PR #374).

Best regards.

[mauron85]

Patch has been merged. Thanks.

[wmertens]

@mauron85 It seems that the npm version doesn't include this patch yet?

[mauron85]

It does now, but not sure it will work. It may still be missing the react-native-community pkg. Check PR for updates.

It's not working....any possible work around for time-being till we get it fixed?
