did you find a solution? I also have a similar issue on android 9

Hello guys, not sure if it is related but i think we successfully avoid this error by adding new permission in android :

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE" />

Hi Can you guys tell what app behavior do you see once you face this kind of crush? Is app closed?

UPD: Before I implemented this I had upload forcing my app to go to background mode in favour of upload service popup and app crush soon.

@quarryman I came across this issue too, the solution provided by @peacepostman worked for me as well. Essentially the app crashes but there are notifications of the service trying to upload the pictures without progressing. My device is on Android 9 - P20 Huawei phone. Hope this helps and thanks @peacepostman for the solution.

Duplicated here: https://github.com/Vydia/react-native-background-upload/issues/159

@vmary2014 If your app stop receiving events from uploader, this might be another known issue https://github.com/Vydia/react-native-background-upload/issues/129 There is fork proposed, that solved it for me

I'm seeing this same error and I do have the FOREGROUND_SERVICE permission set. Does anyone here have any other suggestions? I'm at a loss

Hey y'all. I tracked this bug down to android-background-upload. The maintainer of that library released a new version that we hope will solve this problem. android-background-upload: 4.5.3
