Then I've seen something about app linking. So I've tried to run this:

node ./node_modules/@mauron85/react-native-background-geolocation/scripts/postlink.js

And it gave me this error:

PS C:\react\geoloc-v3> node ./node_modules/@mauron85/react-native-background-geolocation/scripts/postlink.js
internal/validators.js:112
    throw new ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE(name, 'string', value);
    ^

}

Steps to Reproduce

1. I created a blank react-native App
