Context

I used react-native-mauron85-background-geolocation in my app, with React Native 0.59 yesterday I decided to update my React Native to 0.60.3, and I knew that the new repository is @mauron85/react-native-background-geolocation so I change to this new repository and I used React Native 0.60.3 autolinking and I can't run it anymore on my device!

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* Where:
Build file 'C:\Users\Mehrdad\Desktop\Tozico\New\app\tozico\node_modules\@mauron85\react-native-background-geolocation\android\lib\build.gradle' line: 98

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating project ':@mauron85_react-native-background-geolocation'.
> Project with path ':@mauron85_react-native-background-geolocation-common' could not be found in project ':@mauron85_react-native-background-geolocation'.

Expected Behavior

The app should be built correctly!

Actual Behavior

react-native run-android fails!

Possible Fix

Steps to Reproduce

1. Just start a project, add this library and try to run it on Android.

The problem is not with the new repository. It just not works with the new released React Native. There should be a Gradle upgrade problem. Can you fix this for the new React Native? @mauron85

Hey guys, I had the same problem but noticed that in my settings.grade I had only this:

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 was missing this:

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')

as indicated in the installation guide.

Please check if this is your case too.
