Hello Iván,
I tried changing the lines in the RNBackgroundActionTask
But the error still exists and the app crashes whenever it tries to start the background.
Thankyou.

I used version 3.0.1 and had to patch it (because of android compileSdkVersion). These are my changes. I hope you find them useful.
<service android:name="com.asterinet.react.bgactions.RNBackgroundActionsTask" android:foregroundServiceType="connectedDevice|dataSync|location"/>
Do we need anather library react-native-foreground-service?
const uploadFromBackground = async () => {
let playing = BackgroundJob.isRunning();
playing = !playing;
if (playing) {
try {
await BackgroundJob.start(veryIntensiveTask, options);
await BackgroundService.updateNotification({
taskDesc: ` ${new Date()}`,
});
console.log('Successful start!');
} catch (e) {
console.log('Error', e);
}
}
};
const veryIntensiveTask = async (taskData: any) => {
// Example of an infinite loop task
const {delay} = taskData;
await new Promise(async (resolve) => {
//upload data
for (let i = 0; BackgroundService.isRunning(); i++) {
//uploading here
await BackgroundService.updateNotification({
taskDesc: ` Last Updated at: ${new Date()}`,
});
console.log('sleeping...');
await sleep(delay);
}
});
};
compileSdkVersion = 34 targetSdkVersion = 34
Had the same issue and fixed by adding these lines from here: https://github.com/Rapsssito/react-native-background-actions/pull/236/files
Thankyou @rokanost. Tried it. Its still gives the same problem. Crashes as soon as the background task starts.
I'm also facing this issue on the release Store, on both android 13 and android 14
@patphantuan251Bạn có giải quyết được vấn đề đó không?
I tried cleaning all cache, then following @rokanost and it worked on my device. However, after pushing to the store, the problem still occurs every day with a few users (about 10 people) and I still haven't been able to fix it.
@patphantuan251 what is the version of react native and react-native-background-actions you are using? and also what are the foregroundServiceTypes you are targetting?

Same with me.. works on dev mode, but crashing in Prod. Looks like the release build permission is:
<service android:name="com.asterinet.react.bgactions.RNBackgroundActionsTask"/>
and it should be:
<service android:name="com.asterinet.react.bgactions.RNBackgroundActionsTask" android:foregroundServiceType="dataSync"/>
SOLUTION: Found a fork that fixed the issue (my app now works fine in production) https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-native-bg-actions
Hello @rokanost @ivangonzalezg @patphantuan251 @smitha-2020,
I’m encountering an issue with my production app. While I’ve managed to fix the crash issue, I’m still facing a problem with the microphone functionality.
Could anyone assist in resolving this? I’d really appreciate any guidance or support in fixing this behavior.

Yep, this is the same for me. Works in development (emulator and physical device w/ adb) but the preview/production APK crashes. When I inspect the manifest file within the APK, I also see that the android:foregroundServiceType="dataSync" property.
FOREGROUND_SERVICE_LOCATION & DATA_SYNC: Required and correctly added for Android 14+ — ensures your foreground service is not silently blocked.
foregroundServiceType="location|dataSync": ✅ Correct — you're telling the system what types of foreground tasks this service will handle.
<service
android:name="com.asterinet.react.bgactions.RNBackgroundActionsTask"
android:foregroundServiceType="location|dataSync"
android:exported="false"
/>
Means the service will stop when your app's task is removed (like swiping it away from recent apps).
This is okay if you're not trying to run location updates after the user kills the app manually.
❌ If your goal is to keep tracking even when the app is killed, this should be false and you need a strategy like WorkManager or BroadcastReceiver for BOOT and KILL handling.
