It is strange, I just install the new version of react-native 0.57, everything works like a charm.

Steps: 1/ Create new project by using "react-native init <Project-name>" 2/ Go in to the project, install react-native-background-timer by "yarn add react-native-background-timer" and "react-native link react-native-background-timer"

That is it. Hope it help

Hi @ShafiqEssani , there is a small but important note:

In Android, everything work fine with react-native link In iOS, there are some cases which may cause react-native-background-timer run unexpected. 1/ Enable the Capability -> Background Mode -> Audio... so that timer can run in background mode. 2/ If you are using Pod in iOS, avoid the react-native link because it will not work for iOS. You will receive the error said "Native module cannot be null". When you run pod install you will receive another annoying error. + If you used the react-native link already, remove the additional line that add react-native-background-timer from your Pod file and add it manually. + If you have not used react-native link - thanks god - you can start add react-native-background-timer manually.

You can follow this link: Linking Libraries - React native
