    const locationConfig = await getLocationConfig();
    if(credentials.Token && locationConfig.track_location){
        BackgroundGeolocation.setConfig({
        // distanceFilter: locationConfig.distance_filter,
        headers: {              // <-- Optional HTTP headers

        }).then((state) => {
            console.log("Background Geolocation Ready")
        })

  fastestLocationUpdateInterval: 60000,
  backgroundPermissionRationale: {
    title: "Allow application to access to this device's location in the background",
    message: "In order to track your activity in the background, please enable Allow all the time location permission",
  }
}, (state)=>{
  configureGeolocation()
})

Expected Behavior

Since its configured based on locationUpdateInterval we should keep on receiving location updates every 60 seconds approximately.

Actual Behavior

After we login to the app receiving the first update as soon as BackgroundGeolocation.start() is executed from then the next location capture is very random it will be either 1 or 2 Hour or sometime less than 5 minutes or no updates received at all.

Steps to Reproduce

Install the app in vivo smartphone with android version 12 and trigger BackgroundGeolocation.start().

Context

Tried all the methods available in this page https://dontkillmyapp.com/vivo , nothing worked out.

Even kept the app in foreground without closing it or terminating it's still the same issue, i also noticed the background process in notification toolbar it will always be running but locations aren't being captured.

There is hard dependency of compileSdkVersion 31 to upgrade the Library to latest version. Is there a work around for this apart from upgrading?

There is hard dependency of compileSdkVersion 31 to upgrade the Library to latest version

If you’re hoping to release your app to the Google Play Store, they now require a minimum targetSdkVersion 31, which requires - minimum compikeSdkVersion 31.

no there is now way around it.

But the same build is working fine with rest of the brands such as Samsung, Mi etc. This issue is very specific to VIVO brand. So there is nowhere mentioned in the change log that this specific issue has been fixed.

And our current build requires a lot of rework to upgrade compileSdkVersion to 31 just to accommodate this library specification.

Can we have a patched version to make it work with the current specification?

Impossible.

this plugin is developed according to the public Android api docs. If some particular device has problems, see https://dontkillmyapp.com.

Note that changing to compile sdk version is trivial. At worst you will have new deprecation warnings, which you may ignore. All the compile level does is specify which symbols are available at build time.

And it's best not to ignore the point that you can't publish anything below target 31 anymore anyway. There's no point in a patched version because you won't be able to publish it.

31 as both compile and target sdk version is the new baseline expectation for any android app to be useful, it has no value to consider lower versions since they can't be published.

For android apps - because of the new notification permission - a compile version of 33 should be the baseline compile target so you may use library / module versions that require the notification permission symbols, even if you do not target 33 yet. Note the separation between compile and target sdk versions, they imply very different things.
