   defaultConfig {

        applicationId "com.xxx.xxx"

    }

It's happening to me even with all the permissions added

There's an issue with type information of "TypeToken" being lost during the code shrinking process (like ProGuard or R8).

To resolve this, We need to add "-keep" statement for "TypeToken" in "proguard-rules.pro" file.

Add the following in your "proguard-rules.pro" file.

# Retain generic signatures of TypeToken and its subclasses with R8 version 3.0 and higher. -keep,allowobfuscation,allowshrinking class com.google.gson.reflect.TypeToken -keep,allowobfuscation,allowshrinking class * extends com.google.gson.reflect.TypeToken

For those who still have the Android 14 crash, I believe my fork may be helpful: https://github.com/dhiaCodes/background_locator_fixed.git @shashikiran918 @GerlanStanley

oh that's great @dhiaCodes but while running i had gradle version compatibility issues i need gradle 8.0-all-zip not 7.6-all-zip

@shashikiran918 Yes, you encountered this issue when running the example project of the package. You can either update the gradle version, or use it in your own project with a compatible version. I personally utilized the package in my project with the latest Gradle version, and it functioned flawlessly.
