0.8.1, Failed Integration with flutter_background_service

Open Alecckie opened this issue 3 years ago • 9 comments

In version 0.6.0, it was possible to integrate background_location and flutter_background_service to be able to achieve location updates even when the app is closed, a service that is very vital in taxi apps. Flutter background service allows registering of plugins that you'd want to run in the background in a separate thread hence working even when the app is closed.

From version 0.7.0 upwards to the current 0.8.1, background_location no longer works with flutter_background_service meaning that once the app is closed using the back button, then background_location no longer updates the location like it was in 0.6.0.

I'm not sure if this is really an issue that @Almoullim would be interested in sorting but a combination of these 2 plugins was really helpful especially for us with live apps making use of the 2.

I experience the very same issue. Downgrading to 0.6.0 solved it.

Same problem. Everything works until I kill the app, when the app is killed all continue to log except the call to this package. Any idea ?

NB: Downgrading to 0.6.0 don't solve the problem @lbaey-mobizel, can you add details ?
